Comments on: Madoff To Remain Free On Bail In Penthouse

NYC Judge Imposes More Restrictions On Disgraced Investor But Rejects Bid By Prosecutors To Send Him To Jail

Follow the money; somewhere, sometime, it will show up in Ron Ellis''s assets. This decision is highly flawed; I''m glad the proscecution is appealing.

[biomegaly]

He better enjoy his time in that penthose now, because he will be heading to the bighouse until the end of his time (hopefully).

P.S. I wish I was a family member.

P.P.S. I wish they hadn''t found all those signed checks. There must be one in there with my name on it. Come on--come on, be there--

Doing something about it has already started...be patient.

Yesterday they arrested a local guy for stealing a camera from a parked car. He''s in jail.

[bushwhacked8]

Ah it''s good to be rich. Lesson for all the kids out there. If you''re rich, you don''t go to prison like poor folks do.

The prosecutors and judge are just putting on an act that you are stupid enough to believe!!

Do you see anyone here who sounds like they agree with what happened???


You are accepting it...it has happened and what are you doing about it except complaining? So what if you don''t see anyone agreeing with what has happened...it HAS happened and you "ain''t" going to do anything about it...ARE you.

Wake up America....do you really think the prosecutors are really out to do justice?...Get real! They are part of the system that Madoff is party to. The prosecutors and judge are just putting on an act that you are stupid enough to believe!! The banking cartel OWNS you...they just got more of your money and there is more in the pipeline coming to them...
Are you people really that stupid?

[flsunjnky]

What a travesty, if he took your retirement, how would you feel with him sitting up there in his lush penthouse, and you was looking at the street?

Ha, ha, ha!!
Wake up people. It is time to overthrow this "American" system. For a time I lived with an ex-Israeli soldier and he said Americans are the stupidest people on earth. You just gave the criminal bankers who purposely created this financial disaster free money from the taxpayers. You believe all the lies in propping up the most corrupt governments on this planet. You believe that there isn''t an elite power structure that dictates all you "must" believe. This free press and freedom of speech is just there for you to have a little candy here and there.
Wake up. Time to overthrow the system folks.
Throw off the yoke of this Jewish-Christian dictatorship that the elite have given you. Do it now!

Madoff stands for Made Off.

Had this been some clerk who embezzeled a couple of hundred dollars, he or she would be in jail. This guy stole billions of dollars to finance his and his family''s high-rolling lifestyle. He should not be out on bail. It''s a disgrace that this criminal is out on bail.

[kurlikew]

OMG ... put this scumbag in jail already! He''s spent enough time sucking up the high life at everyone else''s expense. :o/

[yongamerica]

It''s things like this that make me wish I was a radical Muslim. Then God would give me two hands of justice and horney virgins to boot.

[babooph]

Still free & how many peons are in prison for life for a little cannibis-a nation for the rich ,by the rich ,enjoyed by the rich.

[monitutonka]

That just goes to prove you can buy judges too if you had enough money. If you or I did something of this magnitude,we would be thrown in jail without fail faster than you can blink an eye.

Speaking of money, how long are the american people going to let speaker Palosi get away with the cost of her big private jet. It costs around $500,000.00 a month just to fly her back an forth to CA. She should have told to use the same jet that the other speakers of the house had to use. No wonder the economy is in such lousy shape, have to foot the bill for that jet just so she doesn''t have to land and refuel on her way home and back to work.

[twomtns]

the scales of American justice are tilted towards the rich & powerful + they control the politicians
wonder how much was in the envelope the judge received before this hearing

[b4ucmyi]

Bernie payin'' a lot of people; no doubt about it.

[rsmik]

Judge Ellis, you''ve got mail!

[secundus2]

Judge Ellis would seem not to be Jewish but African American, since he worked for the NAACP and belonged to an Association of Black Attorneys.

If you take the time to read his opinion denying the government''s (the prosecutors'') motion in the Madoff bail hearing today (1/12), you will be proud of his reasoning and his knowledge of the law.

While the crazies on this list are urging others to shoot Madoff in the street -- not "free speech", but rather, close to being a crime itself -- here is a judge follows the US Constitution (Amendment VIII) and the federal rules on granting bail.

Racism constantly raises its ugly head, as the world searches endlessly for a scapegoat. So many are unable to avoid generalizations, and to see how their own seething hatred boils over into wars and holocausts.

I have a problem with Zionism, but not with the Jewish culture.

All human beings are the same. Those things in which we take the deepest pride, give ourselves the most credit, and swear our greatest allegiance are attributable to the most accidental aspects of life: our parentage, our core intelligence, our physical attributes, our native talents, and the town, country and religion of our birth--the accidents for which almost all citizens of earth will sacrifice everything.

Blacks and Jews have been convenient scapegoats for centuries. It''s getting a little threadworn. Announcing one''s bigotry is like waving a flag that says, "I''m a hateful idiot!
