About the time he decided to steal his investor’s money, Bernard Madoff and his family started giving large sums to willing Democrats. Records show the Madoff’s donated to the Democrats who were supposed to be protecting us from predators like Madoff himself.
Donations to politicians who do not directly represent the donor are suspicious. They raise flags. So does “family bundling” where the spouse and children “contribute” as well.
The Madoff’s have given Democrats “suspicious money” since 1998. Bernard gave $85,300 to Democrats from New York to Oregon. Why?
Bernard’s wife Ruth donated $35,500 to Democrats from New Jersey to Oregon. Out of state donations have a reason.
Madoff’s sons Mark and Andrew are big Democrat contributors too.
Since 1998 Mark donated $22,700, to Democrats. These donations were spread out across the country. Since 1998 Andrew sent $18,000 to Democrats around the country.
Bernard’s brother Peter was also generous to Democrats. He contributed $23,650 to Democrats and that was sent to Democrats around the nation; more big red flags.
Geographically spread out donations like these have a certain odor to them.
Everyone of these Madoff’s had to be involved in this swindle. The media only wants to talk about the celebrities who lost money. They don’t want to tell us who looked the other way so this swindle could happen.
Madoff’s niece, Shana, his compliance attorney is married to Eric Swanson a former SEC official who inspected Madoff’s firm in 1999 and 2004. He found nothing? The Swansons should be jailed with Madoff.
Nobody in the media bothered to write this. They want to bury this information and not mention the money these people have stolen amounts to twice what was stolen in the Enron scandal. But of course that was a Republican scandal so we got every single detail.

In the bankruptcy that is sure to follow, I sure hope the trustee starts asking/demanding “give-backs” of these funds.
Maybe I am just old fashioned in my thinking.
“Those donations spread over all those years are Chump Change.”
If 85k ( that’s Madoff himself) is chump change to you then I agree. I have donated to Republicans for many years and have not come close to 50K. I gues you’ve given a lot more.
For the amount of $$$ they are worth it is chump change per year
The MSM is too busy looking for a poor widow who was taken - they don't have time to look at other dems who helped protect the scam. How long until we discover money went to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd? I mean these are dems. If the same thing had happened to our VP and Halliburton, the MSM would be reacting with glee and scone for rich Republicans. They'd be saying we deserved it. Remember, Dems don't let other dems look bad.
. . . for donations/paid for by even more 'friends'. That said. . .we only have to know. . .Democrat 'friends' do not indict, a Democrat friend. . .
Isn't that interesting!
