“A lawsuit [filed in December] against Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin for defrauding Citibank shareholders of more than $122 billion, also described as a “Ponzi scheme,” got no airplay whatsoever... Rubin didn't get the same publicity* as Madoff because of his close connection to Barack Obama. Robert Rubin's son Jamie was Obama’s main Wall Street fundraiser and is now one of his principal advisers. More significant, Obama’s economic team consists of Rubin's proteges including Timothy Geithner , Treasury Secretary; Lawrence Summers, Senior Economic Adviser; and Peter Orszag, Budget Director... Madoff’s $50 billion scam is described as the largest in history. But it pales in comparison with what Robert Rubin and his ilk have done to the world.” — Henry Makow article

“Michael Froman was Chief of Staff to Robert Rubin at Treasury before following Rubin to his reward at Citigroup. Most significantly, it was Froman who first introduced Rubin to his Harvard classmate Barack Obama... [He] is now Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs.” — Andrew Cockburn article
