Bernie Madoff got 150 years and I believe most (a lot of?) people got their money back. If being rich and powerful buys you &quot;justice&quot;, where did Bernie fail?

Wasn&#x27;t he recommended to get a 100yr sentence previously?? 25 years is a pittance for the scale of crime he committed. People get life for less

Scam Bankrun-Fraud? Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

Yeah there is a known cheat code that he used<p>- Donate millions to the political party of your choice.( Preferably both) - Hire the best lawyers money can buy. - Avoid life sentence that peasants get for much simpler crimes.
