Having been sentenced to 150 years in jail,Bernard Madoff got what he deserved for his Ponzi swindling. However,his victims remain heartbroken after having been defrauded of their lifetime savings. At least,the consoling thing is that the fellow couldn’t bribe his way to freedom as normally happens with such cons in Kenya. It is disheartening that most Kenyans continue to glorify such thieves in our midst and regard them as heroes- recall Goldenberg,Anglo Leasing,Triton,Grand Regency,pyramid schemes,maize scandal,Nyaga,Discount,etc. The perpetrators of these scandals,some surrounded by bodyguards,remain free to roam our streets as they wait for another chance to rob the public.
