Earlier today, Ponzi scheme extraordinaire Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for his crimes. CBS 2 talked to Stuart Borg of Northbrook, one of the Chicago-area Madoff victims. Said Borg, "Life in jail is too good for him. This man has devastated not only people like myself, and richer people than me, but what I've said before - what he's done to these charities. It's unconscionable, and he has no conscience." [CBS 2]
