Bernie Madoff got 150 years and I believe most (a lot of?) people got their money back. If being rich and powerful buys you "justice", where did Bernie fail?
He made rich people lose money.

#2325 years for stealing billions, life for running a website where people broke the law. Justice inc.
In fairness, even 25 years is more than they give the average murderer.

You could quite reasonably argue that SBF's sentence was, if anything, excessive. And, by extension, that Ulbricht's was simply grotesque.

...didn't the Silk Road guy (which is what I assume you're referencing) also hire assassins to attack his criminal-enterprise opponents?
He "hired" an FBI agent to kill another (non existing) FBI agent after being extorted and lied to by an FBI agent. But keep repeating the "truth" til it becomes facts. Remember the autistic kids that get set up by the FBI? That, but virtually.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but are you suggesting that because he unknowingly hired a fake assassin, it’s not as bad of a crime?

He scammed too many other rich and powerful people I think. Just stick with scamming the commoners and you'll be fine :)

Many of his victims were rich and powerful - it was an affinity fraud.

Madoff's investors lost massively compared to investing in index funds.
