Will Bernard Madeoff

(misspelling intentional) get a slap on the wrist now that he has pled guilty to 11 counts of fraud, or will he actually do real time in the big house?

Madoff scammed people of billions and billions of dollars, leaving more than a few people without any money at all. If the garden variety bank robber did that, he or she would be in prison for the rest of his or her life.

The report mentions the likelihood he is protecting other members of his family who are every bit as responsible for the Ponzi scheme as he.

It is unclear how much money remains, but officials estimated there may be $950 million left in assets in the Madoff estate. That would still be a far cry from the $50 billion to $65 billion the government said was taken. Madoff's lawyers dispute the government's numbers and have asked for an accounting.


Madoff and guilty members of his family should not have a dime left in their names.
