The damage that Dodd and Frank have done to this country
warrants a date with Madame Guillotine!
Let’s see, this Ponzi scheme required people to continually be roped into it to pay those already in it,
and the administrator of it robbed all the money out of it to pay for stuff that he wanted to pay for.
The government does exactly this - at gunpoint.
At least Madoff only did it by deception.
The Treasury Dept. could use Madoff as a consultant;he’s
much better at cooking the books!
I like your thinking!
Too easy on this scum. First a nice long stretch on the rack to get all the details of those involved.

OUI!
I thought hedge funds which only the fabulously wealthy could invest in were largely unregulated???? Just wondering.
The largest individual recipients were Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), $34,000; Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), $31,000; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), $25,000; Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, $23,500; Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-MO), $12,000; Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), $6,600; and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), $4,500. The Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Schumer currently chairs, received $104,050.
Among Republicans, the lions share of Madoff family contributions went, oddly enough, to Rep. Jack Fields (R-TX), $13,000. Sen. John McCain received $2,000.
shouldn’t they ALL have to give that money to charity now or something???
Of course the Dems will use this to call for MORE regulation. The idea of enforcing existing regulations before adding new regulations is foreign to them.
Accountability no longer exists in this Republic. Lawlessness is steadily taking over.
And the only answer many of our elected officials can offer is: bailout cash for the crooks and the incompetent. They’re selling off our children and grandchildren’s future for pie in the sky ideals that act as icing on a crap cake.
And to think these people are now in the position of power.
And a lot of the swindled cosmopolitans are the very people who vote for those that send the bailout cash to the crooks and incompetent in the financial sector. Poetic justice?
Only if their nanny state/socialist ideals go down the crapper along with their swindled cash. Otherwise, we may wake up one day and find that we're living in a modern day fascist Italy.
