Hunter S. Thompson was a nutbar.

True, but the fact that he was crazier than a s***house rat was one of his most endearing qualities; the other being the fact that he could write pretty damned good prose when he wasn't drunk, high, stoned, hungover, manic-depressive or suicidal, which sadly, wasn't often enough.

The article pointed out that Bernie bragged he had traveled all over the world. The suitcases he carried were probably full of cash.....not leisure wear. Madoff also had a villa on the Riviera, and docked one of his yachts there.

HOW MADOFF PULLED IT OFF The court appointed trustee looking into Madoff's assets unearthed a labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth...... with assets and businesses in 11 places overseas.

Keep in mind that Madoff was running multiple scams with the knowledge and consent of wealthy businessman:

(1) a Ponzi fraud that made him personally wealthy;

(2) laundering tax-free money from "foundations and charities" of wealthy "philanthropists,"

(3) IRS fraud facilitation for wealthy businessmen;

(4) a protection racket (shielding his investors from federal scrutiny);

(5) laundering tax-free money that was donated to Democrat candidates (campaign fraud).
