Woman arrested for selling fake doctor's notes to students playing hooky

whenever I hear a story like this I like to do the math:
$20 x 14 = 280 / 5 years = $56 per year in prison.

as opposed to Bernie Madoff:

Prosecutors estimated the fraud to be worth $64.8 billion based on the amounts in the accounts of Madoff’s 4,800 clients

maximum sentence of 150 years in federal prison

$64.8 billion / 150 years = $432,000,000 per year, if you don’t account for the fact that he will be dead before his sentence is up.

So, she would have had to sell 21,600,000 fake Dr notes to have the same risk/reward as Bernie M.

That’s a lot of “sick” kids.
