I don't feel bad that he will spend the rest of his days in jail, but I do think the sentence is mostly another example of the justice system making a mockery of itself. Why send an old guy to jail for 150 years? Is it to make an example out of him? Ya know, since this sort of thing happens all the time..., Are we afraid that for some reason this guy will live to 200 years old, and just in case he does, he still will be incarcerated for his bday? Oh I know, now let's sentence a rapist or murderer to only 10 or 20. It's silly. And sure he screwed a lot of people, but I also have a hard time feeling bad when the rich steal from the rich. Maybe that's just because I'm so dang poor these days...

I also think he was lucky in a way, because Bernie's "sacrificial" sentence kinda lets everyone else involved off the hook. I saw that they were thinking of going after his kids and/or wife. There's no way he pulled off such a huge scam on his own. Also, the SEC should have noticed something was screwy years ago, but they weren't doing their jobs I guess.
