Madoff trades his $7 million penthouse for a tiny jail cell

This woman traded in her home for a couch at someone else's house rather than go to a shelter because she owns a dog.

Another casualty of denial for disability benefits by the Social Security Administration, she is diabetic, has osteoarthritis -both conditions affect her ability to walk. Her wheel chair is broken.


She was dropped off on Public Square by the person who lets her sleep on his couch. He told her to panhandle to earn some money for the $120.00 per week he is charging her for rent.

Unlike this woman, Bernie Madoff gets three hots and a cot, recreation, clean clothes, etc. The figures aren't in on how many people will be homeless from his Ponzy Scheme.

Beginning with the Reagan Administration, over $900 billion has been borrowed from the Social Security Administration to fund other projects. This money is yet to be paid back.

Americans paid into Social Security only to have their applications for disability benefits denied. Americans paid Madoff to manage their investments only to find that he squandered away their money.

Only Madoff is being held accountable.
