   I propose a 90% tax on people who bail out Bernie Madeoff! That’s one I actually endorse.

   Throw his wife in there with him, for good measure.

   Should he even have any unfrozen funds or property available to him to use as bail?

   I think we can all agree, this is good news.

   Jail? For Madoff? They should eviscerate him and auction off his flesh by the pound as collector’s items, then use the proceeds to pay restitution to his victims.

   It is harder to pull off a ponzi scheme when your currency is cigarettes.

     @eddie9999: They don’t use cigarettes as currency in federal prisons any more since smoking was banned. Believe it or not, mackerel is the currency of the realm behind bars. For a fascinating discussion of Mackerel Economics see: [online.wsj.com]

    I hope they also decide that all the money the wife has, is still his and was used as a ploy to say he is now broke. Even though his wife isn’t.

    I hope Bernie lives to 130 and never sees daylight again.

    I also hope that investigators can track down the funds and at least partially un-screw the poor bastards who trusted him.
