    This is so sad…..

    They should hang Madoff up from his toes in Times Square like a Pinata and let the investors publicly humiliate and beat the living shit out of this guy and leave him for the rats.

    Instead, the guy sits in his Penthouse drinking and eating the finest working with Attorneys to find the loop holes out….

    Extreme times demand extreme measures my friends and if the government isn’t going to do it’s job to punish criminals….trust me…one of these investors probably will….it’s called revolution.

    People lose money all the time. The real story here is that the guy is 90, still able to work and has a job!! What a great country! I’d say he’s doing better than the guy who died in his 70’s with a huge bank account.

    Peter,

    I doubt you would have the same perspective if you were in his shoes. We are learning today that this stiff (Madoff) didn’t even invest in any securities. We pay millions of dollars to people who are supposed to watch dog and regulate and guard against this in the SEC and they blatantly fail again and again and Enron, and Worldcomm, and Madoff, and Stamford, and over leveraging to 40:1.

    The government did not govern and protect which is it’s duty, it’s time for these people to get thrown out on the streets and ousted now and to stripped of all the money they took from the US Taxpayer over the years and not doing jack shit….

    That’s a good point. How can the government deregulate (not govern) when it’s part of the very word – government. The government did fail in that respect. We have measures and someone was asleep at the wheel. I wonder what the SEC was doing while all this was transpiring for years.
