$$$Justice$$$

I feel like I'm missing something in the Bernard Madoff case$ With all the thievery he did, with all the futures he destroyed, with all the pain he inflicted here and around the world, why isn't he in jail$$??

Bernie Madoff created and ran a fifty (50) billion dollar ponzi scheme and, when he finally turned himself in, he was initially given a court date and he could do what he wanted and go where he wanted within his jurisdiction$

People cried foul, so judge Ronald Ellis decided to put Madoff under house arrest - basically under his own reconnaissance$ Poor guy, he had to hole up in his $7 million Lexington Avenue penthouse apartment$ So, Bernie decides to ship one million dollars worth of jewelry and other valuables to family members$ This is money, cash, assets that could have been used later to paid back some of his clients' losses$

So, Bernie stays put$ He does not pass GO$ He certainly does not collect 500dollars$ But, the worst part is that Bernie Madoff does not go to jail to await his trial$

Tell that to a kid who was caught on the corner with 500 bucks in his pocket$

Tell that to a purse snatcher$

Tell that to a cat burglar caught with the goods$

Yet, I feel like I'm missing something in the Bernard Madoff case$ Why do I have a sneaking suspicion he will ultimately get off scott free$$??
