Bernie Madoff had a family and was found out when he was I believe 70. Holmes is in the prime of her life. Holmes has most of her life to lose, where as Bernie spend the large majority of his living large.
- mnemonicsloth 7y agoThe maximum sentence the DOJ is asking for in Holmes's case is 20 years. She may well deserve it, (if she caused sick people to die or get sicker) but she'll probably get less. In the worst case (for her) she'd be 55 when she got out of prison. Everyone will have forgotten about her by then. She may think that's the same as being forgiven.

- buryat 7y agoMoreover, Bernie Madoff family all tragically dissolved: both of his sons died (one committed suicide and the other one died of cancer), his wife was stripped of all the life she had built, the rest of family disowned him. He caused distress to many investors and caused lots of devastation that shouldn't be praised and explained. The man acted for himself, out of egoistic tendencies, and that's not something I'd consider as living large.
