It just blows my mind that someone can just sit idly by. . . I mean, obviously he (the accountant) was in on it. . .

Nice work if you can get it:
Prosecutors said Friehling essentially rubber-stamped Madoff's books for 17 years, serving as Madoff's auditor from 1991 through 2008 while he worked as the sole practitioner at Friehling & Horowitz. He was paid a tidy sum by Madoff: Prosecutors said he made between $12,000 and $14,500 a month from 2004 to 2007. That amounts to $144,000 to $174,000 a year.
I'd have named a higher price, but that's just me. . .

Still, prison is prison. He'll die in prison without freedom.

He'll only live to serve maybe 30 of those years. Does his family have to make up the remainder? Sins of the fathers and all that jazz...

Sounds like there's going to be a Shawshank Redemption II.
