With all the untouchable crooks running the system, they needed their sacrificial lamb. A head had to roll. Maybe Bernie copped it because he dudded someone in very high places? Justice is seen to be done! Now we plebs will be satisfied - especially the farcical 150 years! Oh yeah?? Poor Bernie is THE Fall Guy!

What about Barney Frank? He advised that Freedie Mac was a good investment just weeks before that Ponzi scheme collapsed. What was the banking bailout? Payoff for a failed ponzi scheme. Why aren't Wall Street firms, banks, insurance companies and congress itself liable for committing the same fraud?

I think Bernie Madoff should have left with an ankle bracelet and probation. By comparison with what the US Government, the FED and its entire sham has done to it’s citizens and the world entire.

(Now they again teeter on default.) But, it makes me wonder it this is the Fed / Treasury's game plan here? Oh, that wouldn't be pretty.
