Bernie Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years of prison for defrauding many, including quite a few charities, out of billions of dollars.
His crimes are selfish and evil. The victims deserve restitution for their losses.
But really? The man is 71. None of the crimes were violent. He'll live out his years in a minimum security facility. Not that such facilities are enviable - but it's essentially a time out in the corner for a man that will statistically not live all that much longer.

I'm thinking this is the last round in the fight. This series began as a competition and a comparison between two banks with the winner potentially getting my continued business for another decade or so. Maybe Bank of America is just too big to beat.

JComments
I added JComments to the Xi Septaton chapter site. It's a very nice commenting component - it's also the new one on here. It's very flashy, simple, and has great advanced features like allowing people to receive email notifications when there are followup comments, RSS feeds, and more.

So my last post was all about the specifics of setting up external transfers. Both Bank of America and PNC were about equal. But actually performing the transfers is quite a different matter.

The US Government is effectively a Gentlemen's Club when it comes to regulations. That's probably not a surprising statement to anyone but I thought of a decent illustration the other day.
Say there's something out there that may be dangerous. We'll use cell phones. Do they cause brain cancer? Probably not. But they probably don't prevent it. They're bad to use while driving. Maybe the tiny screens are slowly damaging eye sight. I'm making all this up really but I imagine someone has considered these.
So what do you do? Well, the cell phone companies will only go as far as necessary to keep up the good press. They don't have a vested interest in studying these things in detail.
So someone creates a government organization to research these things, write reports, and draft regulations that the companies must follow.
