Audience cheers as super-swindler sent down for scam
Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for masterminding the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
Madoff appeared before US District Judge Denny Chin in New York for the first time since his 12 March guilty plea.
“I don’t ask for any forgiveness,” he said.
The audience burst into applause as Chin imposed the maximum sentence. Madoff was then led off by US marshals.
