#BernieMadoffSentences
@DOJCrimDiv @TheJusticeDept Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 yrs. for his Ponzi scheme. Regularly, financial industry employees crash the entire economy because of illegal activity on their part. They are then bailed out by the taxpayer. 1/5

@TheJusticeDept employees are taxpayers. You suffer the same fate as all of middle-class America when the economy crashes from criminal activity in the financial industry. You pay for the bailout and then you live in the crashed economy. 2/5
Five years passes & they're at it again. Overleveraged, naked shares, FTD's offshore, manipulate the stock price and buyers through media & dark pools. This is a cycle you can stop. Sentence the criminals, all of them, to sentences equal to the crime. Equal to Bernie Madoff. 3/5
One person went to prison after the collapse of the economy due to financial crimes in 2008. ONE PERSON. Bernie bilked the entire financial industry and got 150 yrs. Don't kid yourself, that sentence was doled out by the financial industry, not the courts. 4/5
I'd dare say, criminal activity that collapses an economy and devastates the financial well-being of every U.S. Citizen is a far greater crime than one man's Ponzi scheme. END
