"if a person gets convicted of many counts, he or she gets sentence of each count.", !!, Exactly, Madoff might have ripped off 100's of people, but this person carried ot the same crime, to the same person, but for multiples of time time, which amounts to more crime commited than Maddof, and carries more time per crime. On top of that, although the family is appealing the case, unless it is reduced to less than total of lets say 40 years.....by when he'll be 80...something? Whats the point?

Anyways, very sad for everyone involved.....me too done with the thread.
