You all know that there are more people involved in this thing though than they are letting on....
Madoff is roasted, but we'll be hearing about this for years...
During Shakespeare's day, money lending was one of the few careers open to Jews, since Jews were forbidden to charge interest to fellow Jews and Christians also followed Old Testament laws condemning usury charged to fellow Gentiles. In the 16th century, Christians regarded usury as a sin. However, Shylock's profession as a moneylender is still frequently used by critics to support claims of anti-Semitism in the play.
I laugh my A#% off every time I read one of your posts. Thanks for entertaining us with your lack of wit!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Shows us all how well our government is doing protecting us...how do you miss 50 billion dollars in a ponzi scheme but catch Martha Stewart for selling 10k in stocks from information she got from someone inside the company?
Shouldn't you be out burning crosses and watching Hitler youth videos right about now?
the school lunch stuff. And for the record, I don't begrudge anyone their
foolish religious beliefs. And it wasn't hateful, I was just stating facts.
On Fox News, they have a link to a list of investors/victims. Is it a
coincidence that the majority of the names are Jewish? Just like the
majority of the names of people who didn't pay their school lunch bill in CV
are probably spanish surnames? Just the facts, ma'm. You can try all you
want, but you won't draw me into the trashtalk of your ilk.
Attention advertisers, you too can reach this prime demographic.
Jews have done more for America then you could ever think of.
At least 178 Jews and persons of half- or three-quarters-Jewish ancestry have been awarded the Nobel Prize,1 accounting for 23% of all individual recipients worldwide between 1901 and 2008, and constituting 37% of all US recipients2 during the same period.
In the scientific research fields of Chemistry, Economics, Medicine, and Physics, the corresponding world and US percentages are 27% and 40%, respectively. (Jews currently make up approximately 0.25% of the world's population and 2% of the US population.)

Just ignore him. Other Comments have some merit; his do not.
a pdf file of the investors/victims. The majority of the names are obviously
Jewish. The indications here are most of these people expected "special" or
"extraordiary" returns on these investments. My point was that this
pervasive stereotype is only reinforced by the fact that most of those
involved were Jewish. Personally, I bear no ill will to anyone and would
never begrudge anyone their foolish religious beliefs. I'll thank you to
cease your gratuitous violent threats against me. I'm just making an
observation. Peace to you.
Maybe if you adopted some of their methods, you could enjoy some of their financial success.
And for the record, I'm not Jewish. I'm Christian and not ashamed of it.
postings about hating Jewish people!! I just made an observation about the
majority of the people involved! I'm quite successful on my own, without
"their methods", whatever that means. I'm not sure how you interpreted my
attitude as angry and jealous, either. Wow, all of this from making an
observation of the facts.
These investors took a risk. Everyone knew it was too good to be true, but they did it anyway.
I have very little sympathy for them.
The 1st rule of investing is do not put all you eggs in one basket. They were greedy and put their entire lifes savings in one basket and handed it over to someone who promised them huge returns that were out of this world.
Now they want to cry "poor me"!
Sorry. Stupid is as stupid does!
They insulted their neighbors and friends, telling them, you are no good because you are not on "Bernie's" lists. You are a nobody unless you are on "Bernie's list".
Now who is the dummy!
Madoff is a crook. But crooks don't get away with this type of crime unless the contributors were not greedy dishonest investors.....
On the other hand, you know, things may not always be as they seem. He may have known all along going in that he was going to take down some pretty bad folks - such as if the Mafia boss rumor is true. He may not be such a bad guy here - one's got to question why he turned himself in so easily.
Now the Stanford guy - that's a different story.
So why did you compare Madoff to Shylock? Only an anti-semite would have thought of something so terrible.
Who Watches the Watchmen?
My partner ans I were in shock when I saw convicts, like this Madoff, out of the prison grounds with weed whackers and rakes without supervision of any kind (voluntary obviously-think f the damage to the manicured nails). The inmate I was transporting explained those were guys like Madoff and there are less supervised than he was (my inmate was EME in on a 23 year bank stretch).
He then pointed out there tennis courts in their yard (for Madoff type criminals) and their 9 hole golf coarse. My jaw hit the floor. He further explained the federal system considers these inmates a minimal threat ( and since they have political connections and civil rights) they get a easy piece of time. Only the mob gets to be where my inmate was at. Remember Charles Keating in the 1980's? Guess where he was housed during his stint? Federal Pens that have those ammenities just like this reserved for white collar criminals.
the bottom line is greed will eventually get you,the greedy investor maybe think of better way of samming the IRS,and it backfired.
They will blame it on bush.
are you holding Obama responsible for corrections in the stock market???
PATHETIC!!!
God Bless Amerika, and God Bless the Second Amendment!!!
