DMaynard Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 No way. First, even with all of that money, I'd be too paranoid to be able to sleep or enjoy it. Second, if there is an afterlife, whether you go to heaven or hell, if you thought jail was bad, there probably will be a gonga line waiting to plow your a$$ every day (in a spiritual way ). For eternity! And finally, your legacy will be right up there with Hitler and Hussein. What is the big deal about a yacht or a penthouse anyway? I can afford a milkshake or a pizza whenever I want.

Maxman Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 No. You could live to 100. That would be a LONG time in prison. Plus how hey had to go about it, hurting people, stealing like that. I couldn't do that. I would much rather live and die broke. Money doesn't equate to happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't do that. I would much rather live and die broke. Money doesn't equate to happiness. I did not know we were supposed to talk realistically in this thread... lol... If we are going to though... Money usually creates more problems for you than being broke does... it eases some problems while creating other problems... In other words... if your not happy without money, you will not be happy with money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 What if you didn't have to do anything immoral. Simply, billionaire to 65, then jail (guilt free) for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply, billionaire to 65, then jail (guilt free) for the rest of your life. lots of unanswered questions here. when would you become a billionaire? are you one from the age of 16 and forward? because let me tell you this.. 65 is pretty young nowadays.. and the years come speeding by once you reach my age.. 65 doesnt seem that far off.

It's just too much jail. Even assuming he only lives another five years, it would still be about 7% of his life behind bars. That's really a lot.

JerryK Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 A quick trial means nobody looks for the money and his kids and wife are all set with cash for generations. When you're that old, your mortality is visible and taking care of the grandkids is huge. I don't think he'll care much. But really....People screw others for much less money than that.

LionelRichie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Still a no for me. Life is too important to waste even one day imo. if you got to pick your prison you may change your mind. if i could live a billionaire life and then check in to club fed at 65 i would probably do it. club fed is not that bad at all (no salad tossing), and life after 65 isnt all that great anyways.

I think he has dammed his family to a life of looking over their shoulder. You can't tell me everyone who's money he took is going to be ok because he's in jail now? Let me tell you, his family will never scrape the stink of this off their skin. Also 65? Mortality? Maybe your family. My family is Sicilian and live forever. My Uncle got re-married and had a kid at 61. He runs around in Boca like a shriveled up Don Johnson wth his new 40 old wife and baby. You don't need Billions to take care of your family. Just love and faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't followed this story very closely, is his family really going to be able to keep the money he screwed others out of? That's very, very wrong if they are.

Madoff had no leverage as his guilt was so obvious once everyone, including the SEC, came out of their usual comas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not tell them squat if they dont help his family... and you know he has a large portion of that money well hidden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
