No, just you.
Hanging is too good for this guy.
They fit the profile of Obama voters. They voted for a fraud whose policies they can't articulate.
In this particular instance, the “people whose money was used” needed to [in most cases] pony up between 1 million and 10 million dollars to get in. When you have that much money at stake, you do your homework and you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Everyone,
Just ignore the mod in the corner, doing a little babysitting. Remember the little note about NO PERSONAL ATTACKS!
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
LOL...and mucho dinero too
Madoff learned the first rule of business, “If you can’t dazzle them with briliance, then baffle them with BS.”
I guess it goes to show that the rich aren’t necessarily smarter than the rest of us. They just have more money and they THINK they’re smarter.
True.
However, try a Google on "Harry Markopolos". You'll get stories like this; How Bad Did the SEC Blow the Madoff Ponzi Scheme
FWIW, Markopolos is a guy who was a fraud investigator and worked for a rival firm and wrote to the SEC on more than one occasion with allegations about Madoff's caper as far back as 1999. They were never investigated. OK, you can say that the SEC gets lots of complaints by disgruntled investors but this story about Madoff is not new.
There have been questions out there about his methods for some time.
Just having some morning fun! ;)
The skinflint who ran Reggie White out of town. And people say there's no good news.
"Hildy" is apparently an extremely overly-sensitive Jewish person.
Telling her/him/it that you are "Christian" might be mis-interpreted as some kind of anti-Semitic comment.
PS - ...and strangely, I didn't see Bill Gates' name on the list of "victims". Did you?
Exactly!
Interesting...I’ll look it up. Thanks. It does seem like those in charge of oversight of financial entities have been asleep at the wheel for a very, very long time in the country...It’s all part of the fall.
I’m in favor of THAT!
Hildy, This I agree with. The SEC has been asleep at the wheel, and with proper oversite much of our current mess could have been prevented.
Wow, what exactly does that mean? My suspicions seem to be right on the money there...excuse the pun.
Your "PS's" always seem to give you away there, Wayne.
“the “people whose money was used” needed to [in most cases]”
I don’t think the amount of money matters. But if you choose to make it matter - “Most” is not all. So, I stand by my original statement regarding the all inclusive insults and derogatory statements of All the investors.
