Should Bernard Madoff be allowed to plea bargain without any jail time for himself?

[sparks]

I think this criminal and all others who knowingly helped to maintain this crime of greed, should give up all their worldly possessions except the clothes they are wearing and do about 20 years in the slammer.

The criminal should relinquish every wordly possession and be sent to prison. Also have to work to pay for his jail stay for the rest of his life.

No, he should have to pay back the money he stole, and who ever accepted gifts from him while he was out on bail should be charged with conspiracy because they had to have known he was trying to hid assets. He should have to do the time assigned to him and they should stop putting white collar criminals is minimal security prison and but them in the same populations as people who steal, assault, exploit people because his crime is just a heinous. People trusted him and he took advantage of that trust

Only if he gives up every penny he has, moves into a cardboard box on the street and every day 3 of his victims get to hit his legs with baseball bats as hard as they want.
