The Madoffocaust. My thoughts, too.
From the list of names there, it looks as if Bernie pulled a stickup at a synagogue!

How do you “lose” $50Bn? I can’t just evaporate? Or can it?

Some of these are the most informed financial people in the world and they couldn’t figure out that this was a Ponzi scheme. And then they expect me to figure out how to invest a 401-k.

How do you “lose” $50Bn? I can’t just evaporate? Or can it? You make losing trades, and meanwhile you pay dividends to old investors from capital given to you by new investors.
His trades need to be audited. One good way to launder money is to engage in trading with an overseas counter-party, where you take over his bad investments (at above true market value) in exchange for him putting money into overseas accounts for you.

Will all these "poor, innocent victims" be receiving "bail-out" funds?
Oh, wait, Sen. Lautenburg is ONE OF THEM!
How's that for answering my own question?

Wonder if this is a BIG scam? Wonder if Madoff did exactly what was expected? Maybe it is an effort to keep money away from Obama. Look out folks...

I was just told by someone that Bernie Madof is on Bush’s short list of people to PARDON before leaving office. I hope and pray that is NOT the case. Madof and a bunch of other wall street thieves need to see nothing but the inside of a jail cell for the rest of their days.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg is getting off easier than a lot of the victims. At least Lautenberg didn't lose his fat cat pension.

He needs to be tried and sentenced before that could happen, and I doubt he will come before a judge before Jan 20.

You reap what you sow? What the hell does that mean? These people invested their money with a respected investor. They did what you’re supposed to do. You can’t muster a little sympathy for people who worked hard their whole lives and now find themselves completely BROKE?

An article I read last week on this very web-site entitled “I knew he was doing something wrong but I invested with him anyway”, or something close to that.
