The Madoff Deathwatch. . . . give me a BREAK

[annabanana]

Apparently all the the press in the Country is parked out in front of a courthouse with nothing to look at...

At the end of the day the payoff will be a shot of an old man walking from a car into a building. . maybe followed at the end of the day with a shot of an old man either walking from a building and getting into a car... or a prison van driving away from a building.

My first question is "What is going on in the World that Corporate Media would rather not talk about?"

There is nothing going on with Madoff that can't be transmitted in a 15 second spot during the day.

1. The only courthouse where I want the press to be parked in front of

Is the one where Bush, Cheney and all their cronies face justice. THAT I would spend all day watching.

2. We have enough court houses to handle all the crooks.

3. and one that I will spend all day watching

Its coming

4. Every penny should be taken back from his crooked slimy wife too

and given to those he and she robbed. Justice would be Bernie in prison knowing his wife is homeless pushing a shopping cart around NYC collecting cans and bottles for nickel deposits to eat, only to be mugged and robbed by another homeless poor soul.

5. Looks like they are targeting his wife & other family members:

Two days before Bernard Madoff enters an 11-count guilty plea in Manhattan federal court, the investigation into his giant Ponzi scheme has broadened to include a number of suspected co-conspirators, according to federal officials involved in the case. Madoff’s lawyer told a judge today that there was no “deal” connected to Madoff’s confessing to money laundering, mail fraud, and other counts that will likely result in a life sentence.

Ruth Madoff, who was considered “innocent at first,” is believed to have received at least $70 million from her husband and is now therefore an object of the investigation.
That tallies with the revelation, from another source involved in the probe, that Madoff has not been cooperating in good faith with investigators. “He is not reliable. He’s jerking everyone around,” said the source. “Every day he changes his tune about where the money went and where it is. He’s trying to protect his family.”

A source close to the Madoff defense team agreed that Madoff’s main concern was to preserve as many assets as possible for his wife and children and to keep them from legal entanglements. “The US attorney’s office is still trying to resolve what is tainted or clean money, what real property in the US is appropriate for the Madofffs to keep,” the source said.

That may prove difficult. Sources say new information has surfaced that suggests several members of Madoff’s inner circle transferred assets to their wives, transactions thought to be laundered through an English bank.

Ruth Madoff, who was considered “innocent at first,” according to this source, is believed to have received at least $70 million from her husband and is now therefore an object of the investigation. That is one reason why she recently decided to retain her own lawyer, leaving Ira Sorkin, who has represented both of the Madoffs since December, when the Ponzi scheme was revealed.
