Bernard Madoff, the man bigger than Ponzi himself, has been sentenced to the maximum time in prison the law will allow. This afternoon, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin handed down the 150-year sentence in a packed New York courthouse. According to MSNBC, Chin called the fraud "staggering" and noted that it spanned more than 20 years. He added that "the breach of trust was massive." Article
