I agree. The SEC is a joke and is owned by the hedge funds. So much for Sarbanes Oxley. Madoff, once convicted, should be hung on Wall Street to send a message. Build the gallows right at Broad and Wall.

Anyone know if this
Obama donor Paula Madoff is any relation to Bernie? Just curious.
In any case, no employer is listed for the woman. Large donation and no job?

I always thought my Mother had done me a big favor by sending me back to the drug store on the corner with a nickel for the charm pop that I stole. Having to face Ed the druggist and telling him I stole from has pretty much kept me honest for life. I see now we would have been much better off if she sent me back to steal more and we could have sold them on the corner outside to store for $.03.
Who says crime doesn’t pay?

Chickens coming home to roost...what isn't a ponzi scheme these days? During the Cold War we could at least say we were “better” than the godless communist world. Now the former Communist world in many cases is more capitalistic and moral than the formerly called “free world”.
Capitalism with no underlying Christian principles will fail every time.

The SEC Chairman, Christopher Cox, another loser, appointed by this incompetent President. One of the few statements that McLame made that made sense was that Cox was incompetent and should be fired. Of course, he turned right around and apologized for his statement. Cox was a Rino congressman when he was in Congress, so what should we expect but incompetence.

I wonder if Rush had money invested in this guy's firm. He was certainly off his game today in a big way, that didn't have to do with having a cold. He was pretty p*ssed today.
Many of his investors came from the enormously wealthy enclaves of Palm Beach, Florida and Long Island, New York, where people had invested billions in Mr Madoffs firm for decades. He was a fixture on the Palm Beach social scene, and was a member of some of its most exclusive clubs, including the Palm Beach Country Club and Boca Rio Golf Club, where he drummed up much of his business.
Just wondering.
