No hope for Bernie

By Capt. Fogg

Is there a lot of difference between 12 years, 20 years of 150 years to a 71 year old convict? Sure there is. Bernie Madoff's 150-year sentence deprives him of all hope, just like it is said on Dante's gates of Hell.

It may be true that you can't cheat an honest man, or at least one who isn't greedy, but even those who have lost everything to Bernie's lavish living, may have a bit more hope -- and that's as it should be.
