Some of the most viscious anti-Semitism came to light when Madoff's thievery surfaced: that Jewish thief Madoff fleecing Jewish thieves (via his affinity Ponzi) was the definition of a "victimless crime."
H-o-r-r-i-b-l-e stuff was going around.
It took the wisdom of Holocaust Survivor Elie Weisel to put it in perspective (Weisel was also fleeced by Madoff).
Weisel said that thieves can imagine themselves committing crimes but innocent victims cannot imagine anyone would commit crimes against them.
Amen.
That says it all.
How much did Madoff swindle, anyway?
