Madoff says he should only get 12 years, because a man of his age has a life expectancy of 13 years. So 12 years in jail would be "sufficiently address the goals of deterrence, protecting the public and promoting respect for the law."

That fuckers been rollin' in dough for how long? He's probably got a 2nd bionic body stashed somewhere waiting for him to get out of prison.
Plus isn't the life expectancy thing determined by on an average? Doesn't the average person not have health insurance? Suck my dick, Madoff.
