What is really criminal is that Madoff paid 10k for that crappy statue.

Why is he under house arrest? He should be in jail with a bond set so high he has to mortgage all his property just like regular folks. No wonder communism appeals to some people.

"Like everyone else, we expect it to be made public," said attorney Matthew Gluck, a partner at Milberg LLP

What it should be is a public hanging. This is the biggest crock of sh*t! This THIEF gets to sit around his posh apartment. He should''ve been sentenced to house arrest in a homeless shelter to experience what not having money feels like. GREED is so disgusting.

endrepubs, You Sir are an idiot. Have you never watched "It''s a Wonderful Life?" George Bailey explains that his depositor''s money isn''t in the bank, the money was in the homes and businesses of their neighbors. When banks and other fiduciary businesses are regulated and monitored, they do a fine job. I would suggest a very careful look at the Auditing Firm that was supposed to be examining Madoff''s records. For him to have gone this long without being caught, says that somebody was either asleep on the job or being paid off.

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 took BILLIONS out of our pockets by cornering the Oil markets in 2008, controlling 81 percent of all oil contracts in the world

http://tinyurl.com/6emukq



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

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.

How long will we tolerate these Wall Street parasites as they destroy our country, and corrupt our government processes?

How long?

A couple of thoughts...

First, let''s get Bernie out of his lixury apartment and behind bars where he belongs. Next, after his trial, he should be sentenced to live on 24K per year (AFTER all of his assets are liquidated to try and reimburse those who suffered the most from his crimes) without any opportunity to accept gifts or earn any more than that. Let him stay on house arrest in some one bedroom apartment somewhere.

- OR -

Maybe gather as many of the swindled as possible to form a gaunlet on Wall St. and let''s see him get from one end to the other. (alive)


Here''s another thought. There are things of a natural nature happening on this planet which could very well see us thrust back in time to living by our hands and our wits. Sure would be satifying to see people like Bernie suffer a slow agonizing death of lack, huh?

The Washington Post reported that this fall, but that news wasn''''t published anywhere else. Read this story, cut and paste the link and send it to your friends. We are being totally sold out by our governemnt...to Wall Street:

Great article.

This news was reported by NPR, I know, but you are right -- the media did not cover this, for the most part.

In my work I have dealt with Securities Fraud.

The SEC is a toothless lapdog of the securities pirates.

I doubt that will change. They''re too big, powerful and arrogant.
