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?

What’s the matter? Did YOU lose some funds of your own with this criminal?

Can’t face the fact that you let your OWN greed get in the way of common sense, maybe?

Why else would you be defending these losers?

According to the news stories I have read regarding Mr Madoff, it has been suspected/rumored for years that he was having problems, or at a minimum, many were questioning his veracity.If you can afford to invest the sum of money that has been reported his investors invested with him, you can afford to hire an accountant with an eye toward the truth. I do not feel bad for people so short sited to invest all their holdings with one individual.

A representative of Mr. Spielberg confirmed that the foundation has suffered losses on its investments with the Madoff firm. He said he didn't know the size of the losses and couldn't comment further, including on whether Mr. Spielberg had any of his own money invested with the Madoff firm." WSJ

Note to Spielberg and other Hollywood limo liberals : In the average Hollywood movie Mr. Madoff would be a dramatic hero. The cops and bean counters going after him would be seen as "not cool".

Spielberg - is there any chance that you've reaped what you've sown?

My guess is, "yes".

Sadly, so have the rest of us - with the creeps of the world emboldened by Hollywood's love of the underbelly criminal examples.

Hildy, these people have been glorifying criminals for so long it makes me sick - the fact they got ripped off by one is justice. Their movies have encouraged the creeps of the world to prey on the rest of us - and I guess these Hollywood BIGS felt their money and expensive security systems would safeguard them from the consequences of the filth they pumped into he world. I am thrilled that they were NOT immune.
