Yes, worse then Castro, worse then Hitler (maybe tied), even worse then Judas Iscariot himself. For those of you fortunate enough not to know who Bernie is, let me give you a quick explanation. He was a very wealthy private wealth manager, who only took on select clients. He ran the largest ponzi scheme in U.S. history, stealing over $65 billion. Absolutely bizarre. That's not even the best part, the Madoff company was audited and checked on by the SEC over a twenty year period, and yet they never found out about the scheme. But in all seriousness, this is such a sad story, people lost retirement money, college funds, life savings, etc. Even the actor Kevin Bacon lost a chunk of cash because of Madoff. I saw an interview today with a 50-60 year old couple who had invested their life savings with Madoff. They wanted to accumulate money in order to pay for their grand-children's college tuition. They lost everything. Now they both have to work 9-5 jobs just to make ends meet. Madoff ran the "company" with his wife, brother, and two sons (who were in charge of compliance, ha). After his arrest, Madoff's wife claimed the $70 million in her account was her earned money. You know what? I think you should look up this entire crooked family, a) for being cheats and b) for being morons. The woman hasn't worked a day in her life, and now she suddenly has $70 million? Good one. The 7o year old Madoff has pled guilty to 11 felony counts (except conspiracy), and is facing 150 years in prison. He pretty much knows that his life is over, but he is trying to secure the future of his family. Fat chance.
Bernie has bigger problems then his double life sentence. It is believed that he is involved with the mafia (some claim the Russian mob). And I think we all know the mafia likes to collect their money, one way or another. Sometimes they go for you, and sometimes they target your family, who knows? Mr. Madoff, I would wish you good luck, but you don't deserve it. The last person on Earth that I would want to be at this point in time is Bernard "Bernie" Madoff.
