    Rationalization is a wonderful thing...... it allows crooks, murderers and other lovely examples of our species to have self esteem.

      so by that explanation you give, that must mean Obama, Bush, etc. and every president that's ever been in a war with soldiers dying , are just as bad as the neighborhood murderer right?

      Indeed, he should be penniless for eternity due to his worship of the allmighty dollar.

      There is, in the US BOP, a policy, you can see it at the Bureau of Prisons site, where inmates are required to meet "Financial Responsibility". If he is allowed to spend $170.00 I would be surprised..........but they are so protected within the prison system...the staff that is

    This man lied, day in and day out, for decades. So when he's interviewed, are we expected to believe a word he says? Falsum in uno, falsum in omnibus.

    It really baffles me how Madoff could carry billions of phony dollars on the books for so long without raising suspisions and without help from others...???

      He was investigated by the SEC several times, but they looked the other way because they were scared of him.

      There was suspicion by some. No one listened until it was too late.

      Don't be baffled, they knew all along. That's the way it works.

    WHERE IS RUTH MADOFF GETTING HER MONEY FROM? ISN'T THAT STOLEN MONEY TOO?

      The powers that be allowed her to keep 1-2 million. Isn't that just great!!

      Yeah and that's just what she's showing. I bet she still has zillions hid away.

      Agreed VinnyBoy. She was allowed to keep $2 million but what about the billions old Bernie Madhoff made off with? It wasn't returned, it went somewhere and I would be willing to bet she has the key to the safety deposit box.

    Ruth Madoff "didn't care about the money"???? Living in the lap of luxury and not turning Bernie's arse in contradicts that line of #$%$!

    Why is this slug getting air time. He, his wife and family are the worst kind of thieves. The did not only scam individuals but charities that invested to do good. Talk about people who have no shame! This man should NEVER be given a forum to talk to the public, period!!

    I have NO sympathy for Madoff. He ruined countless lives because of his criminal activities. He lived the high life using other people's money. Now he is complaining of a few NIGHTMARES? What about his victims? How are they sleeping? Does he even care? Really?

    Liars and cheats too cowardly to face the consequences and to weak to commit suicide. Dis-honorable #$%$ THEY both should be braeking big rocks into little ones and modes of suicide should be made readily availble with the only mail allowed being from their victims.
