[politicalmerc]

When are they giving that money back? Back to the poor innocent victims of this liberal democratic fraudster?

[Batman11]

I wonder how much Chucky Cheese had invested with Madoff? I doubt that he could resist Madoff’s sales spiel to be in the exclusive ‘Super Jewish’ club!

[edcoil]

Says 40,000 on the tab at the www.opensecrets. site

[ken21]

ruth madoff had an office in the business.

why isn’t she under investigation or in jail?

[nascarnation]

nothing to see here, move along

[Doctor Raoul]

“Her” money is under investigation.

[xcamel]

over a $million in lobbying efforts too..

[unixfox]

He’s a theif, just like all of the Dems. What a shocker.

[PGalt]

BTTT!

[SES1066]

Almost every victim of the Madoff Scandal has justifiably accused the SEC of the Bush Administration of flubbing their duty! That this happened and the SEC had total failure cannot be realistically argued BUT ...

Harry Markopolis [link to current Bus.Wk. Article] FIRST NOTIFIED the SEC in 1999, the Clinton Administration. Only a very naive person would assume that one call from Madoff wouldn't produce 'advisory' calls from these campaign fund receivers. No threats but simply asking assurances that Mr.Markoff be 'properly treated' as the fat cat that they needed money from in future campaigns.

If this was the Mafia, it would be called 'strong-arming' and racketeering but politics uses much kinder words. Someone smarter than myself needs to find a way to insulate the SEC from such political favoritism.

[dynachrome]

“Nothing to see here. Move along.”

SEC

[Doctor Raoul]

dynachroem got more hits outta that than I did. But it’s also tough to separate by first name.

[Does so]

Yours is better-organized, but I had to reorganize it some for a forum, and added some notes of my own...

--------------------------------------------

"On December 14, 2008 the New York Times published an article[52] on Schumer's role in the Wall Street meltdown.

"The article stated that Schumer 'embraced the industry’s free-market, deregulatory agenda more than any other Democrat in Congress, even backing measures now blamed for contributing to the financial crisis...

"Schumer took steps to protect industry players from government oversight and tougher rules, a review of his record shows. Over the years, he has also helped save financial institutions billions of dollars in higher taxes or fees. He succeeded in limiting efforts to regulate credit-rating agencies.'

"This article also charged that Schumer blocked ratings agencies reforms proposed by the Bush Administration and the Cox SEC.
