    25 years for stealing billions, life for running a website where people broke the law.

    Justice inc.

    Bernie Madoff got 150 years and I believe most (a lot of?) people got their money back. If being rich and powerful buys you "justice", where did Bernie fail?

    Wasn't he recommended to get a 100yr sentence previously?? 25 years is a pittance for the scale of crime he committed. People get life for less

    Yeah there is a known cheat code that he used

    - Donate millions to the political party of your choice.( Preferably both) - Hire the best lawyers money can buy. - Avoid life sentence that peasants get for much simpler crimes.
