Here's the most staggering two sentences in the article:

The order came just days after federal prosecutors charged Madoff with securities fraud, saying he had admitted to orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme. Madoff is free on $10 million bail after he was charged with securities fraud last week.

How can this guy be free on $10MM bail? He should be in shackles and confined in a cell for the rest of his miserable life.

What, like Ponzi schemes are illegal? If that were the case, we wouldn’t have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, fiat currencies, fractional reserve banking, etc etc etc etc...
