Very good article for those following the fascinating Madoff scandal. The damage Madoff did in particular to observant Jews is devastating.

Yeah but talk about raising the...

He’s a Jew He’s a Jew He’s a Jew flag, they have outdone themselves.

They could have done the exact same story about how he was a hugh Liberal Democrat. Instead, they focus that he Jewish.

You have to wonder if the pigblood drinking aholes at NYT would have done the same story had he been Catholic?

(Glad to hear that highway story is still around. Heard it the first time 25 years ago.)

Madoff is an interesting psychology. He is like the good son, who everyone in his family, and his friends, loves and admires. Who then butchers his family and friends in a rampage of hate.

How he did it is also interesting. He sought out others to become dependent on his, both among orthodox Jews and the left. It didn’t matter if they already had support. He would give them more. If they had none, he would promise them support to go beyond their modest aspirations. But everyone would look forward to his support.

What makes it stranger is that he seems to have known that it was all a fraud, which would eventually backfire and harm those he wished to help. Had he wanted to help them nevertheless, he would have arranged for them to receive and spend their money before it could be recovered.

And finally, the point made by the article. Why prey on the orthodox when he is not orthodox? Was it because he knew they were vulnerable in ways other Jews were not? Was he perhaps one of the Jews that bitterly hate other Jews?

If so, what does that say about his parallel support for the left? His particular interest seems to be caring about juvenile delinquents, helping organizations that sought to help them avoid punishment.

Some psychiatrist(s) are going to make a career out of Madoff.

I think people are missing the point. The people who are now “victims” were members of an exclusive, apparently racist club. If this was a highly profitable WASP investment vehicle where you met the fund manager at a WASP club, or a white’s only investment vehicle that was set up at a white’s only golf club.

This stinks. It would stink if it was whites, or WASPSs or Nazi’s, but it happened to be fabulously wealthy secular Jews.
