Bernard Madoff didn’t fight the charges of him dollar-tricking the economy.  He took it like a G and plead guilty:

Bernard Madoff pleaded guilty Thursday to all 11 felony charges brought by prosecutors in one of Wall Street’s largest investment swindles, telling the court he is “deeply sorry and ashamed” for his actions. U.S. District Judge Denny Chin accepted Madoff’s guilty plea and said he plans to jail Madoff until sentencing takes place June 16, meaning he will not be allowed to await sentencing in his $7 million Manhattan penthouse. Madoff’s crimes could result in a maximum prison term of 150 years. “I cannot adequately express how sorry I am for what I have done,” Madoff told the court Thursday, admitting that for many years he had operated a Ponzi scheme. He added that he is “painfully aware” that he has “deeply hurt many many people.”

Madoff was living a lie for so long it’s surprising to hear the reality of his guilt.
