Madoff Hitler

Today a judge described Bernie Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme as, "extraordinarily evil," while sentencing him to 150 years in prison. In his own defense Madoff addressed the court room and had this to say to some of the working stiffs he ripped off.

Actual courtroom transcript of Bernie Madoff's public apology:

I'm sorry. This is all just a big misunderstanding. I honestly don't even know what a Ponzi scheme is. Who knows what a Ponzi scheme is? Someone told me he's a guy, an Italian guy, right? Seriously everyone, I'm sorry. I truly believed that what I was involved in was called a Fonzi scheme, a really cool scheme like the guy from Happy Days. Fonzi not Ponzi. Cool not evil. Come on! I swear! The only reason I carried it out to such lengths was because this girl I was trying to impress told me there's this really cool scheme she heard about called a Fonzi scheme and that if I could pull it off she'd totally 'bro me down a hummer.' Really though, I'm sorry. I was just trying to be cool, make a little cash, and get a quick BJ from someone I wasn't married to. Since when is that a crime on Wall Street?
