And not a moment too soon

ATLANTA – Bernie Madoff is serving 150 years in prison for a multibillion-dollar fraud. Norman Schmidt got 330 years for his role in a huge investment scam. And then there's white-collar criminal Sholam Weiss, who isn't due for release until November 2754.

Weiss was sentenced to 845 years in prison in February 2000 by a federal judge in Florida who said he should be removed permanently from society. Of course, Weiss wasn't in court at the time. He had fled overseas while a jury was deliberating.

I like this guy's sense of humor, though. His alias is C. Dick. As in, C. Dick (on the) run.
