Representative Anthony D. Weiner (D – Brooklyn and Queens), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, today called for the suspension of bail for Bernard Madoff, the Ponzi scheme leader who fleeced $50 billion from investors in New York and across the globe. Weiner released the following statement:

"Bernard Madoff should not be free on bail. If there was ever an example of someone who was a flight risk, someone who might have $20 million in a shoe box under his bed, that's Bernard Madoff. He has lived the last ten years of his life in a scheme of deception, and should not be trusted – even with all of the ankle bracelets in the world – outside of a jail cell."
