Maybe we will get lucky and Madoff will kill himself as well.
It’s already been posted here
Care to tell us where?
Don’t say such things. Madoff may be a swindler, but he’s still a human being, and to wish for the death of a human being damages your soul.
Instead, let’s pray that he lives to get what’s coming to him in a court of law.
Reports: Hedge Fund Founder Who Lost $1.4B in Madoff Scandal Dead in Apparent Suicide

Thank you, but the poster said the news story had already been posted on Free Republic and I was hoping they’d know the location of the FR thread.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
I still don’t get it!
$50billion was not burned or buried - it was circulated. Probably only a few billion actually ever existed as currency - most of the $50billion was probably just paper transactions in ephemeral assets.
Stupid stupid stupid!!!
Well from the guys name I am guessing he was a French National. Rene-Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet sounds about as French as you could get. Draw your own conclusions, but a tip of the hat to the Tricolour from me.
Thanks!
True, but that $50B figure is awfully large, and tends to cross over into an entirely different category of crime.
For instance, Joe Sixpack, working for 40 years [age of 25 to age of 65], at $30,000 per year, earns only $1,200,000 over the course of his lifetime, so Madoff stole the equivalent of more than 40,000 "Joe Sixpack" lifetimes' worth of work.
It's kinda like how these acts of Muslim terrorism cross the threshold from investigatable & prosecutable crimes, and become truly acts of war - acts which can't be dealt with using all the niceties of habeas corpus and the right against self-incrimination and the right to counsel and whatnot.
PS: And yes, I realize that Uncle Sam is running the same sort of Ponzi Scheme with Social Security, but I freely admit that what Uncle Sam is doing is tantamount to a form of "demicide", or "policide", or whatever.
I’m willing to take soul damage to wish death for Bin Laden, Zawahiri and their followers. I never want them to see the inside of a court room.
Get what is coming to him in court? What is that? Some time in prison before he kills over from old age? After costing the government millions trying him? I hope he jumps off the roof of the building he is staying in right now.
Investing $$Millions in a Made-off fund is insanity. Who can explain the elite.
Pray for W and our Troops
Maybe he went long in $200 Oil Futures or owned NYT stock??

Re: to wish for the death of a human being damages your soul.
Do you know how many people will have premature heart attacks and die beacuse of this one fellow?
And yet they will STILL call it the “smart money”
