Madoff's sentence was not the longest for a white-collar criminal. New York businessman Sholam Weiss, 55, was sentenced in February 2000 to 845 years in prison for his role in a plot that skimmed $400 million from an insurance company, costing many of its 25,000 customers their life savings. The government lists his release date as Nov. 23, 2754. And Norman Schmidt, 73, was sentenced in Denver last year to 330 years in prison for his role in a multimillion-dollar investment scam. He's scheduled for release in September 2291.

Here's the judge that sentenced him. Denny Chin (Chinese: ???) is a judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Chin was nominated by President Clinton on March 24, 1994, and confirmed August 9 of that same year. He is the first Asian American appointed as a U.S. District Judge outside of the Ninth Circuit.
