The Fridge / 150 Years In... For Christ sake.

Not sure if the news came to anyone else' ears. Bernard Madoff, an American former financier who admitted to have done fraudulent agreements with many people all around the world (even famous people including Steven Spielberg), through whom he acquired his millionaire fortune, was condemned today to 150 years of prison. Note that he is 70, so this will be prison forever, and he's also ill, I heard.
Among his agreements are those of a 90 years old man who lost his life fortune to Madoff and started working in a grocery shop earning more or less 9Ä per hour. (Do the conversion, I have no idea <.<)
It is calculated that it will be impossible to reward all of the families he fraudulently helped due to the amount of money included.
I don't know, but in some way, the 150 years hyperbole seem pretty adapted. He might not have more than 12 years to live, but still, the 150 years seem enough, whereas less wouldn't. <.<
