Since I became aware of judicial processes over the past 40-50 years- one nearly constant truth prevailed: Justice is bought and the rich & powerful buy their way out of most crimes you or I would be locked away for.
Case #288962 in point is this ripoff artist Bernard Madoff.
They catch the guy ripping people off FOR TENS OF BILLIONS OF $$$- so what does the "justice system" do?
Put the criminal under HOUSE ARREST - in his mansion- while his millions of victims suffer. One even killed himself over Madoff's crimes.
THEN today we find out that Madoff and his wife- while under house arrest- sent out more than $1-million worth of gifts to friends and family over the Christmas holiday.
Just that much less for the ripped-off investors to recover.
There shouldn't be ANY debate today over jailing Madoff and seizing/freezing every one of Madoff's assets.
Oops- I forgot. This criminal is a RICH GUY.
Never mind.
