ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS!

Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks!


Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing.

Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”


IMO- stay in jail

Ya know, am I the only one that thinks if you had an ounce of common sense and were going to pursue a life of crime, maybe don't make yourself easily identifiable with cheek tattoos and very unusual or unique markings...? Not even sure that played in here, just saw the pic of the perp and thought well DUH...

 
This is one I want to try not to forget to check until findings are released. The little bit so far that is out makes no sense. Is this foul play or no...? Not a hint...
