Financial Times:
The man who defended Bernard Madoff would not hesitate to do it again.
"Absolutely," says Ira Sorkin, who vigorously argued for leniency on behalf of his client only to see him sentenced last week to a 150-year prison term for running a $65bn Ponzi scheme that devastated thousands of lives.

Did Madoff leave him bankrupt?
Ira , you got millions and Madoff got max.
Everyone is happy.
Mr Madoff paid him notoriously large amount of cash for his service; of course he will do it again. After all, it's his business to be lawyering for cash.
Ira, Ira, Ira, but of course you'd do it again! Ain't a truck load of cash just wonderful, when you have nothing to lose.
His client got off easy. Imagine what would've happened if Madoff had a bad lawyer.
That's some mighty fine lawyering Ira.
how is this news? he's a defense attorney it's his job
I am sure you would do it again. Your and your parents were a a big investor with Bernie, and withdrew the money before the scam got unveiled. It is elementary for you that Bernie remains silent in his prison cell, and doesn't rat those silent "investors" out, who lined their pockets in this scam.
Here's the link backing up what you suggested, that Sorkin's parents "bailed out early" from the Ponzi scam.
