This whole Bernie Madoff thing is a regular laff riot

[Stinky The Clown]

The bilked rich folks are asking that his bail be revoked. The bilked rich folks are screaming for his head. The bilked rich folks will probably get what they wish for.

Hahahahaha


Bwahahahaha



Haha



Ha




Not




What about the rest of us? Bernie made off (an unfortunate pun, really not intended) with a paltry few billion from maybe a few thousand investors. The real criminals made off with TRILLIONS from MILLIONS of little people.

And nobody is in jail .... or out on bail ....... or named a target ....... or even a person of interest.


But damn. They sure want old Bernie strutting his flabby old butt in the jailhouse shower.


The ownership of the gored ox makes all the difference, no?

1. Madoff is a thief but he is great diversion

from the real thieves

2. Precisely ...... he's the shiny thing.

4. Yep...you're only supposed to steal from the poor to feed the rich

He broke their code of honor between them. The rich do not steal from the rich and that is their code. It is an oath they take and sign in blood at their gated community country clubs.

5. A bright fire in the night

3. In a way, I'm encouraged that it's happening to them too

No, I'm not happy that Steven Speilberg likely lost a bundle. Or anyone else out there trying to do the right thing with their wealth.

However, there is a myth out there that if you have enough money, then you will be safe. Safe from want, safe from everyday con artists, and safe from swindlers that you might not expect. Afterall, you pay these people a bundle to tell you how to manage your wealth so you and your children will be safe.

The Madoff scandal shows that this unethical corrupt behavior is working its way up the food chain. So, perhaps they will be more likely to set it to rights.
