Bye Bye Bernie

March 13, 2009

Bernard Madoff appeared in court today and pled guilty to eleven counts of fraud, perjury, and theft from an employee-benefit fund.  The court deemed him a flight risk and Madoff was handcuffed and immediately placed in jail.  Sentencing will occur in June, and Madoff could receive up to 150 years in prison. 

(Author’s Note:  the white whale references Herman Melville’s theme of humans fighting against things that are out of their control.  Check out the Moby Dick wiki page for more.)


For many, the economy has become a great white whale
To one of its corruptors, we have seen justice prevail
After issuing a guilty plea
To counts of fraud and perjury
Bernie Madoff was then handcuffed and taken off to jail
