Comments on: Feds Want Madoff In Jail, No Bail

Prosecutor Says Alleged Wall Street Scam Artist Mailed $1M In Jewelry To Relatives

[walt1944-2009]

It has been learned that the "Ponzi King", Bernie Madoff, has pulled a "fast one" by mailing jewelry to his relatives. His lawyer says the jewelry were "heirlooms" and their value wasn''t significant!

SINCE WHEN IS ONE MILLION DOLLARS NOT SIGNIFICANT??!!

That kind of money could help a lot of people with their mortgages, maybe pay medical bills for a lot of people, and feed a lot of homeless people!

So the Feds are arguing that Madoff should be locked up without a prayer of bail.

Everyone knows that won''t happen. If Harriet Miers, Josh Bolton, and that master criminal of them all, Karl Rove, can ignore supbeonas and still NOT end up in jail, you KNOW Madoff will never see the inside of a jail cell!

But if YOU don''t show up for jury duty, see what happens to you!!

SIG HEIL, THE "AVERAGE PEOPLE" DON''T COUNT; THEY NEVER DID!!!, BUSH!!!

As Leona Helmsley would have said, "Only the little people worry about Ponzi schemes."

But those lawsuits that will follow and keep his bank accounts and property tied up for years making him essentailly very poor when he can''''t move a thing without the expressed order of a court..

He can by using his Israel as a haven for all the loot. The question is what are we, as a country, going to do when Israel refuses to release the mother load thats wound up in their banks? My guess is they''ll pay the Dual Citizen greed pigs first and hold the rest from us. Maybe we''ll see some emotion from the masses then or maybe everyone will wait till the food prices go sky-high because we''ll have a tax on how much gas the farm animals emit per-day. I say if you can''t put a meter on it, to measure, to tax it it, it can''t be taxed.. Next we''ll be taxed on the estimated air we breath. What-A-Country!!

Maybe the reason Madoff has that smirk on his face all the time... "W" is going to pardon him!

Worth the REPOST:

When a dog craps on your lawn, do you blame the dog?
No, the dog was just doing what dogs do. You blame the dog''''s overseer, the owner supposed to be regulating the dog''''s behavior.

Here are the SEC chairs during the 8 years of the Bushit administration who let the Madoff scandal develop:

Harvey Pitt 2001-2003--"quit" due to lack of oversight during Enron swindle.

William Donaldson 2003-2005--fired due to insufficient loyalty to Bushit ideology--now an Obama supporter.

Christopher Cox 2005-present--a Reaganite Republican, asleep at the switch as Madoff stole his billions.


Is there a theme here? Reaganite Neocon Repugs let swindlers steal. Anyone not falling into line is fired.

That is the Bushit Repugs for you.

So get the $50 billion out of their offshore accounts.

The people that Madoff stole from have a right to be angry at his dishonesty. They trusted him to steal from other people and share it with them.

Well put Spirt. Right on the head!!

[cbsblogger]

Why is he roaming free in his multi million dollar apartment? He should be tarred feathered and pilloried on Wall Street.

Rep David Scott nailed it today in the hearings. SEC had to be complicit in the cover-up! Not only were they complicit but so were yet unknown influential members of Congress who forced the SEC to stand down because Madoff was a hero to so many in NYC. Follow the money and influence and you''ll find the cesspool. They never figured the market would crash big time and Madoff would be uncovered.

If these greedy stupid yet wealthy idiots from the gold coast of Long Island and elsewhere who invested with Madoff are made whole, while the innocent victims of Katrina, Enron, and the 2009 market crash must eat it, we need a Boston Tea Party and Congress needs thrown overboard.

Oh quit yer ******* people all he did was send a few trinkets to some family members and friends. He is being a good boy now sitting in his 7 million dollar apartment. Some of us have it and some of us don''t. Don''t be a hater,it causes wrinkles :(

[rushlimpdrug]

Leave the poor man alone!

Who knows, he may have the answers to
a stimulus package for the U.S.

[ssm9451]

Off with his head!

[nebul09]

Why at the last minute sending him to jail without bail when this monster transferred huge amounts of money and jewelry to family members. bloomberg''s-"superior-than thou-because- I-am-jewish" mouth espoused Michael Bell and Plaxico Burress criminal infractions, kept his lips shut about this MONSTER and his THUG criminal ACTS. I bet this monster will not be investigated about all the millions missing from the treasury dept on 911.....this monster is a terrorist in a suit armed with a briefcase.

Gonzo Will Help Madoff Get OFF
Gonzo Choked Shrub`s Chicken for Years

It is difficult for me to believe this guy did all of this on his own. I hope they keep diggin'' and diggin''. I would almost bet money that there is collusion somewhere. Did all those big high-rollers lose the money they say they did? Was there anybody at the SEC in on it? I gotta believe this may just be the tip of the iceberg.

[renonv5]

Republicans warned against rushing to new regulation as a response to the SEC breakdown.

Now why doesn''t this surprise me? What are they trying to hide/protect?

Truth_Police

What are you talking about??? How old is your computer?

[twomtns]

Madoff''s lawyer, described the items as heirlooms
He said they were not significant assets.

one million dollars not significant assets ???
I suppose when compared to the $50 billion fraud this Judas pulled off it is not significant amount to all but a small percentage of the population but one million dollars is a significant amount of money to all the charities & pensioners he defrauded
put him in jail leave him there until his trial and
hopefully for many years after

[cbscrash072]

As for Madoff, why did you guys make bail easier for him? Throw him in prison and not that special white collar one. Throw him into the general pop with all the other losers. Maybe if we started throwing Mr. ceo in with Bubba Mr. Ceo would ask himself if stealing millions or billions is worth having Bubba stretch your ***? If you can''t put a Ceo in regular prison how can you put anybody in regular prison?

[cbscrash072]

I decided to submit my opinion after reading truth_police.

In my opinion you should have your computer fixed.

I could read the comments before I commented.

Republican and Democratic: it is nice to see they know how to act upset. The Republican and Democratic are not going to do anything but TALK, like they always do. The Republican and Democratic are the ones the $1 million worth of jewelry and other assets got mail too.
