Ira Roth

Should have invested in a Roth IRA.

[WayneS]

NOT Victims!

They are greedy sacks of crap. They suspected/KNEW he was doing something wrong/illegal and they "invested" with him anyway.

They deverve NO sympathy whatsoever!

[giobruno]

It looks like a who’s who list of wealthy donors to the Democrat Party.

...you reap what you sow....

[Mannaggia l'America]

It looks like a who’s who list of wealthy donors to the Democrat Party.

But the Democrats/Media say the Republicans are the party of the rich....

Bernie Madoff's Victims: The List

The Madoffocaust.

[RexBeach]

No doubt about it, Mr. Madoff was a magnificent putz.

[Issaquahking]

Again, the talking heads always talk about diversification...but greed was in charge of some people’s steering committee....

[rightwingintelligentsia]

If you read the posts on MSM sites about this story, the consensus is that this is all Reagan’s fault. I’m not kidding.

[Pharmboy]

He certainly made off with everything, eh?

[facedown]

Sen. Frank Lautenberg. Unspecified (Newsday).

Bwahahahaha!

[Boiling Pots]

**Velvel said he wants to know where government regulators, as well as accountants and others at Madoff’s company, were when the money was being lost.”**

HELLO, where the hell were YOU? Why should someone else be held responsible for what happens to YOUR money???

More “victims” whining about how normal, ordinary, everyday folks who have nothing to do with them or their lives didn’t predict or prevent the disaster that was coming.

Sorry if I can’t muster any sympathy for these “victims.”

[SueRae]

He should be shot. How can Americans, or for that matter, foreign investors have any fatih in doing business or investing. The market is corrupt, the SEC is toothless and these perps get off easy time and time again. Disgusting.

The investors got burned mostly by greed. They were getting returns above and beyond what the market was returning. They never got statements from an independent custodian. They invested based upon status and panache. They invested in a strategy that none of them could articulate( it was a fraud).However the big banks and the regulators are to blame as well. If you notice several of the large banks even lent their clients monies so that they could leverage their investments with madoff. Also the SEC has been receiving detailed complaints that this was a fraud since 1999, i know they get these all the time from disgruntled people but when does an investigation begin.

[Boiling Pots]

You will not find too many left wingers who will muster the same rage against Madoff as they did against Ken Lay.

[Carley]

There are frozen assets. You can bet that Mr. unspecified Lauterberg will be getting his investment back.

[snarks_when_bored]

That he did.

[PAR35]

That’s going to hit the democrats in 2010.

[bvw]

One plant can mean a whole crop, unlikely that Madoff is the only fund like this.
