Comments on: Thieves "Educate" Madoff On Stolen Goods

Pilfered Statue Returned With Scolding Message To Disgraced Investor, Who Provides List Of Assets To SEC

Madoff needs to be "educated" at the end of a noose!

BTW, for those who are interested in the origins of the Ponzi scheme, research Charles Ponzi. Seems he was doing his scheme during the beginning of the depression.
Seems the cycle does continue.

I think this has been posted already, but just for the record:
This is a wonderful example by everyday people copying from the German/Austrian Film. "THE EDUKATORS."

The film''s about 3 people who break into rich people''s mansions and carefully rearrange their furniture and goods, then leave cryptic messages like:
"Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei"; literally "the fat years are over", or "the days of plenty are numbered"

Let''''s move on and leave this poor aging man and his family alone.

He didn''t take a stapler. He stole billions -- from individulas, charities, businesses.

Poor, I think not.

Aging?

Not quickly enough.

You''ve really got to read this article by the Washington Post. http://tinyurl.com/6emukq

This top-rated piece of investigative reporting shows that Wall Street Banks took BILLIONS out of our pockets by cornering the Oil markets in 2008, controlling 81 percent of all oil contracts in the world...and they''''re getting ready to do it again in 2009.

http://tinyurl.com/6emukq

This article was not widely reported by virtually any other major news media (NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN, etc).

Cut and paste this and pass it on to people. We have been sold out.


As the article points out, these same Wall Street firms plan to do the same thing in 2009 to the price of everything we eat or drink, using the same cheap money they are getting from our treasury to manipulate commodities markets.

Why are we paying to keep these firms in business?

Why are our taxes being used to keep them operating?

They aren''''t lending money to real businesses, they aren''t helping our economy, they simply aren''t necessary for America...they are only used by the very richest parasites who are destroying our country and dictating its policies by buying out our government and impoverishing the majority.

Our elderly are being forced into the street by these banks. Our children are being bankrupted by 29% credit card rates with taxpayer money the Fed gives the banks at zero percent.

This is obscene.

How long will we allow this to continue?

I am laughing so hard right now so many hollier than thow saying how rightous their are.

This is what we beleived for so long well welcome to the human race.

Politics only works when we all work hard at it.

LOL this is a lesson that needs to be learned but it will fall on deaf ears as always.

I am not sure that allt he facts are in, but I am sure that everyone seems to be in a "gotcha" mode, and not very understanding. Who are we to judge ? Haven''t you take something from work ? like extra typing paper, pens, or even ? petty cash ? Have you ever lied ? If so ( i think very few honestly honest people can say no ) == perhaps you should be in jail as well.
When people are trying to be all things to all people, and supply happiness, financial ceilings, even "wealth" - what do you expect ? Things go wrong, and it is a bitter pill to say, hey I have failed. So, as it happens, things happen. I do not personally blame this man, who no doubt is in a state of despair. Can''t we just go on, and forget about so much BLAME, and punishment. He did not truly harm anyone, beyond what they themselves "risked" perhaps so foolishly and knowingly . Like Las Vegas.
If there is a blame here, it is for all of us, as society who demands to win, make money and live high on lobster bisque. Excuse me , while I open my can of soup for dinner, and happily so.
Let''s move on and leave this poor aging man and his family alone.

What a crass, unfeeling thing to say. The fact of the matter is this crooked man has ruined many lives financially and is seemingly getting out of it with only a slap on the wrist!

[hetup-2009]

Money sure brings out the meanness in people.

Give it a rest, we are only on this planet a few decades, do you see anyone cold, hungry, or naked?

50 billion is chump change compared to the heist that Congress is pulling off giving out bailouts......It''s the people''s money and people are letting congress give it out because they are weak party party controlled zombies who believe repeated lies. This is the direct result of what happens with uncontrolled greed......why is congress any different than Madoff? they are both mega big time thieves ,,,,,,seems like Both parties need a good public lesson in what we think of the bailouts......any solution starts with getting rid of all the crooks in congress.
