I understand long sentences to prevent any chances of the sentence getting reduced due to good behavior or whatever. But 150 years! Obviously I am speculating, but it looks to me that the judge must have been really pissed off personally ![ohwell ohwell](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/smirk.gif) Makes me wonder how in spite of being at the top, they can get emotional on these issues. ![lol lol](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/lol.gif) Why not make it a million years just to be safe? I've always found that funny as well.

no a billion years...hell make as much as he stole. Just for fun I broke down his sentence vs. what he allegedly stole through his schemes (assuming $60 billion). It works out to about $1.095 million per day (of the 150 year sentence). Big numbers like that are confusing to me and mean little in terms of comprehension. I ask myself, though, if it was me that lost my life savings to him, would 150 years be fair? I answer, "yes".
