Madoff screwed over greedy wealthy people, for the most part, so my sympathy is minimal. Why can't wealthy people be satisfied? All of them have moved past "rich" to become wealthy.
The U.S. Government, on the other hand, has screwed over the moms and pops of America; the hard working core of our society. There seems to be nothing worse than being abused and abandoned by your own government. There has not been a soul in an administration, in Congress, or on the legal bench who has done a damn thing to stop this pillage since 2008.
