I submit to you that Bernard Madoff has been unfairly maligned.  In actuality Madoff with his pyramid fund is no different than Warren Buffett with his Berkshire-Hathaway fund.  On one hand. Madoff used money from new investors to pay old investors and when the scheme collapsed the newest investors essentially had their money stolen.  On the other hand, Buffett uses his hedge funds to steal money from the government by avoidance of taxes.  One is illegal while the other is legal, though I’m not sure which one is really worse!

Understand this pitiful, weak obsessive/compulsive personality and we can get a handle on Wall Street and a whole lot more. Putting a disease in jail is really not much of an answer when you get right down to it.

Has he threatened to write a book yet? Can he write one behind bars? Whats with
the therapist crap, do felons get therapists? Is he in one of those country club
institutions for non violent criminals?

If the Repugs get in the Whitehouse again it will be pardon time. Then again
Obama might…...

****************

He could get out but he also hurt too many affluent clients
which is why he was busted. It would be hard to believe he hasn’t
salted enough to live a quite nice life should he be able to buy
his freedom. After all the courts these days are looking to enrich
themselves for ‘decision making’.

WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY, THEY FIRST MAKE MAD(off)!

The Amerikan corn-$yrup people are an exceptionally stupid lot! And this is why they’ll vote (alleged-lie) to replace Mr. Obama, a “lousy house nigger” for corp-rat banksters in the Wall $treet casino, with… PRESIDENT JEB!(Bush) and Vice President Palin.

And President Bush III, of course, will privatize (meaning corp-ratize) everything… including the traffic lights. Think about it, clowns! Think about privately owned traffic lights and privately own streets… and privately own prisons, etc.

So… what’s it gonna be? Are we going to in-HEIL! to the Chief Rat in the Oval Orifice? Or shall we inhale him from our boobtube footballing couches? Not that it matters! Rome is burning!

The exchange with his so called therapist was very telling.

” I am a good person”, LOL..

Sociopaths can rationalize anything…

I’m actually surprised, that he hasn’t faked his own death, at this point, and is enjoying Margarita’s, in Patagonia, with Ken Lay..

hello. while i agree he spews a clever tactic to reduce
incarceration, his devious intent devastated many too
elderly to recover. hearing sour grapes regarding
investors in his scheme being too greedy, only says he
learned his lesson and wants to do it better the next
time. if he died in prison, that is not enough to
curtail Wall Street shenanigans, but it could bring
some healing to those he hurt.

Really, “it’s hard to comprehend why the fallen financier would choose this
moment to unburden himself”. I’ll tell you why. He thinks he can get out, and he
probably will, once certain people and corporations get nervous about his born
again revelations. Don’t forget this guy has still got cash stashed to lubricate the
needy. Oh, he will get out.
