That would be a white collar…..as opposed to a blue collar.
U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner denounced a federal judge’s decision to allow Bernard Madoff to remain free on bond while awaiting trial for allegedly running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
“He should not be living at home, he should be in a jail cell,” said Weiner, a Democrat from New York, at a press conference yesterday in front of Madoff’s Manhattan apartment on East 64th Street. His comment followed the judge’s ruling in Manhattan federal court. “This judge doesn’t seem to get it.”
U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis said Madoff, 70, may remain free on a $10 million bond, denying a request by federal prosecutors that he be jailed because he mailed a diamond necklace, Tiffany and Cartier watches and other jewelry to relatives. The mailing violated a court-ordered asset freeze.
Now take a look a a guy that has stolen $750…where would he be today? Most likely sitting behind bars waiting for a trial. Why? He is a risk of flight person….but some a/hole that steals billions is a secure person from flight. Is that logic or stupidity?
On another note along these same lines.
This man has ruined the lives of many people and yet when he is in public he has this arrogant smirk on his face. You know the kind of smirk I am talking about, the same type that Pres. Bush has when speaks of war. This man should be help under the jail or put him in with Big Bubba and llet them get married.
