The 50 Billion Dollar question here is - is this deal being put in place to cover up for the involvement of high Administration and Democratic Party officials such as Mary Shapiro and Arthur Levitt?

Madoff in a tape made years ago, brags about being "very close to the regulators". Who were these? WHO, who who?

Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr., it should be remembered put together the pardon-for-pay (1 million bucks plus to the Clinton "library").

BTW, the Madoff connection with Levitt went back to their days together on the AMEX and Madoff's co-founding of the notorious Amex firm Cohmad.

Anybody out there paying attrention to this?

Yes, the deal is no doubt something along the lines of Eric Holder accompanying Bernie Madoff on a multi-year search through dozens of countries around the wrold looking for a series of secret bank lockboxes where Bernie left $50 billion.

I'm disgusted with the way these White Collar Criminals are coddled, but not surprised. They all hang out in the same circles, the Defebdabts give generously to their Prosecutor's campaigns, they inter-marry, etc.

But what really frosts me is the concept of a ‘Deal’. In order to have a Deal each party to it has to provide something of value to it. What the Hell does Maddoff bring to the table. Why is whatever he says of any value and, dear God, I hope his wife and children are driven to complete, abject poverty with their ill-gotten gains going towards some kind of restitution.

I won't hold my breath.

Meanwhile, Martha Stewart did jail time. I guess she just wasn’t friends with the right people.

When Mary Jo White, then United States Attorney for the Southern District indicted the principals of Oakford Corp. and several members of the New York Stock Exchange for illegal trading- not only did White cover up the extent of the illegal trading, but White refused to investigate illegal trading by Goldman Sachs.

White also refused to investigate Spear Leeds and Kellogg's involvement in the illegal trading of Oakford- including lending tens of millions of dollars overnight to meet net capital requirements.

Nor should we forget that it was Mary Jo White that let linger the investigation into a Bill Clinton's pardon of a rabbi who was incarcerated after bilking HUD out of millions. The resulting release of the rabbi then caused his community to vote almost 100% for Hillary Clinton for Senator. No quid pro quo there. Yeah, right!

Are you saying that Zarb, Levitt, and Holder all had prior knowledge that Madoff violated laws?

OH my. The RAT party is league with the two biggest crooks (Rich and Madoff) in our country’s history.

We know that Holder is an expert at getting them off.

My bet is that they do a deal like this one:

They’ll try to get everyone in the family but Bernie off.
fits with the Bravo Sierra that was spun about the sons turning him in.

The Democrats have become one of the most corrupt political parties in American history.

Rumor has it that is was upwards $100 million and the services of his wife.

We will never know. Madoff will serve a ten month sentence at a Federal White Collar Crime facility, play golf every day, do two weeks community service in a NYC kitchen for the homeless, before whisking himself off shore to a Carribean hideaway where he will entertain his dem friends on the off season, until he croaks pleasantly in a cloud of cigar smoke.

Where IS the MSM on this?

TURDS!
