I did not follow the case
It appears he got 30 years fed for a fraud case

That is crazy

I know guys from Wallstreet that were involved 30MM+ fraud and plead out and received 5-6 years.
That was many years ago
And after Madoff white collar crime today the sentencing is harsher
Even though

Why didn't he plead out?

I know guys that have bodies more than one that got 15 years.

Did they have such a hard on for his father that they did not offer him plea deal?
Or is he just that stupid?
