I don't understand why he pleaded guilty.

The best bet is that the evidence was overwhelmingly against him, the DA was unwilling to offer a deal due to the enormity of the crime, and he realized that his best and only hope was to throw himself on the mercy of the court.

They should send him to England to be cell mates with Boy George. :rainbow1:

I suspect Bernie Madoff is now at rest in a better place wherein nothing gets stolen.

Or, he is in a place where he gets to run the same little Ponzi scheme over and over and over. He gets caught over and over and over. He goes to trial over and over and over. He goes to jail over and over and over. He gets out of jail and the cycle begins again, over and over and over. Forever - for All of Eternity. After the first million or so times, he would be bored to the point of insanity. It doesn't matter. He still has almost all of Eternity to do it all over and over and over.

I have argued that I would not want to go to heaven for All of Eternity. No matter how varied things in heaven would be, after an infinitesimally small portion of Eternity, I would have done everything an uncountable number of times. I would have to look forward to an Eternity of doing everything again, countless times. Heaven truly would lead to insanity.
