Victim Judith Welling and DeWitt Clinton Baker smile as they leave the United States Courthouse in New York June 29, 2009 after Bernard Madoff received 150 years in prison for his multibillion-dollar fraud scheme. Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff was jailed for 150 years Monday, dealt the maximum sentence for his multi-billion dollar scam that ruined Hollywood clients and middle-class pensioners alike. "It is the judgment of this court that Bernard Madoff should be sentenced to 150 years in jail," Judge Denny Chin said, imposing the toughest possible sentence even after Madoff made a courtroom apology to his victims.
