Quote from Ricter:
I've often thought we should occasionally use some kind of "life force calculus" for sentencing. Somehow it's more acceptable for a guy like Madoff to take a couple of years off the life of thousands, than it is for another guy to simply kill 20.
Quote from Spike Trader:
My dads ex-broker(the guys retired now)is a close friend of Madoff and visits him regularly.He says Madoff lives like a king, eats the best of foods, ice-cream and everything with all the comforts he had on the outside.Surely there's a cost factor involved somewhere in there.
