制造了美国历史上最大金融诈骗案的犯罪嫌疑人伯纳德·麦道夫被判处150年监禁。宣判结束,麦道夫的受害者间想起了热烈的掌声。这位名噪一时的金融巨人并没有为自己辩解,而是转身向受害者们说了一句“对不起”。
现年71岁的麦道夫,前纳斯达克董事会主席,将在监狱里度过他的余生。
The American financier Bernard Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years in prison for an investment fraud of 65 billion dollars, the biggest in US history. The judge said he hadn't got any sense that Mr. Madoff had helped prosecutors as much as he could. Laura Trevelyan has the details in this report from New York.
As Judge Chin told Bernard Madoff he'd been sentenced to 150 years in prison a few of Bernard Madoff's victims applauded. Mr. Madoff stood impassively. He'd listened to victims describe him as a monster, as someone who had shattered their dreams and their spirit. Bernard Madoff spoke in his own defense. He said he couldn't offer any excuses for his behavior. At one point he turned to the victims who were sitting behind him and he said sorry.
