well, madoff actually did rob a lot of poor people: he's responsible for multiple funds and charities losing most of the capital and closing down. Not even mentioning contributing to the economy tumbling and people losing their jobs. $15bn is a sum that can really affect the larger scheme of things.

Actually, I think that 5 years would be right, since he has robbed mostly rich people. I'd be in favor of more severe punishment for those who have robbed ordinary people of their savings.
