The guy always showed a steady profit no matter what - over a span of like 30 years - in good times and bad. It's too good to be true. Why should he get 150 years .. because he ran his scam more clever than other frauds and con mans? I don't get it.

Only someone who is very greedy or just wants to play with fire would invest in something with illogically good results over such long periods of time like that.

Instead of sending this tough message by giving some old geezer 150 years - why don't they get the message and relentlessly investigate people with sustained too good to be true records?
Didnt the SEC investigate him many times in the past? Maybe they need to shape up their methods, retire, or join him on the inside.
