    geitner is a crook as well, but is being called the only one that can save us, so let's annoint him to sec.of treasury, well, if the call from obama is we need capable people who can save us then madoff would do very well in this administration, after all not everyone can run a successful ponzi scam and get away with it, he'll fit right in with the rest of government

    I see this article is under the title of "Justice." So far I haven't seen any justice in this case. "Madeoff" should be in prison. A real priison like Levenworth, in general population. Why si harsh? Because of all of the innocent people's lives he has destroyied.

    I read that early investors had already taken their real money out of the fund, with significant profits to boot. I guess they were part of a bit of insider trading, that is until Madoff and the market took the "tarp" off? These investors are now being advised to lay low, and not try to collect their bogus Ponzi profits as well. It really would be nice if one could know how real the 50 billion is, and who profited from the con. Guessing it wasn't just Madoff' and his family.

    Dear IamRight,
    Jews are a people. They are from a tribe in the middle east. They were Jews when they were slaves in Egypt BEFORE they found God. Their religion is JUDAISM. That is why before genetic testing you were only considered JEWISH if you came from a Jewish mother because that can not be faked. Just like you can't convert to being FRENCH You can not convert to being JEWISH. You can convert to JUDAISM which IS A RELIGION. Jews can be genetically tracked throughout time by a sequence of GENES. You can only do this if you are a race. That is how they proved that a group of AFRICANS actually were JEWISH. This is why the ortodox JEWS have so many Genetics diseases lik TAY SACHS. You can not track a religion through GENES. THat is why there are JEWS FOR JESUS. They believe in JESUS and are therefore JEWS THAT ARE CHRISTIANS. You CANNOT HAVE CHRISTIANS FOR JUDAiSM, THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE CHRISTIANS.

    IF You can not understand what I am talking about then there is no hope for you.

    I wonder if this guy is going to be allowed to continue to stash assets for himself... the judge must be afriend of his.

    Every country must join hands to make law banning fraudulent schemes to protect its citizens.

    Bernard Madoff, Samuel Israel, Michael Milken, Dennis Levine, Ivan Boesky, Bernie Ebbers seem's like this so called fund was not for the american public but a select "race" of people. Is this entitled to US tax money to be bailed out too....?

    Most of this money is probably already in Israel. so they can promote The American Enterprise Institute and The Weekly Standard the Neo-Con Zionist Aipac, to promote more War and expansion of Israel . Slowly and surely to eat away the miserable part of Palestine that is not already settled with Jewish Homes and Business entities.. Ask Bill Kristol, Podhoretz, David Frum and the Shecky the Lawyers of the World.

    What a load of crap!

    Typical...The government will capitalize and take the money under the pretense of returning it to the many investors...Let's say they recover 50 billion...and return 20 cents on the dollar where does the other 80 cents go?
    The whole thing from Madoff to the Government not doing anything about it for a decade knowing there was something amiss makes me sick and disgusted.
    Screw them all...They should all rot in Hell!!!

    Before Madoff sees the inside of a jail cell, he will open doors into the Wall Street underbelly that has seen little light of day.

    HEDGE FUND UNDERBELLIES WILL SURFACE AT MADOFF & Co. TRIALS

    From New York to Geneva, corruption is rampant and complex on Wall Street, including the process of accumulation of this much cash..

    MADOFF AND HIS METHODS are not so unique.

    Most of the fifty Billion is safe in the hands of Israel already, Oy Vey,

    All of this over Madoffs ponzi scheme which is bad to be sure. Imagine what it will be like when the largest ponzi scheme in the history of the world finally crashes, the one known as Social Security, the one our government mandates that we participate in it. It will make Madoff look like a chior boy in comparison.

    Were all blowing into the wind folks, Bernie's money has long ago flown to israel to construct illegal jewish settlements etc: he is of course not the only one, but it now suits for him to be [wink, wink] caught and to allow the other honest god fearing nuts to go with their own swindle,s in aid of the greatly expanded Israel.
    Thank God i'm an atheist.

    This opens up a great new insurance scheme. Profit Coverage. You can buy insurance to protect your profit from investments, insuring against the recall of your profits due to someone in the chain defrauding someone else. Or, you could refuse all profits until you investigate the trail of the dollars before they got to you. If you find soiled hands in the past, say, ten transactions, then you righteously refuse to take the money. Who wants dirty money, anyway? But, if it made the last ten transactions clean and the eleventh was dirty, it will have cleansed itself in the stream of commerce and you can keep it. Everyone will want to do this. There is no charge for this idea.

    I beg to differ with IamRight-The Jews are decendants of Abraham's son Isaac. It is true that others may embrace the religion of Judaism and the Christians are grafted in by God's mercy and their faith in Jesus. Peppercorn

    The worst thing that can happen to you in this life is to sell-out your own being. What kind of punishment for these type when convicted, perhaps, everyday 1 Hr before and after the close of the market, they be escorted in their orange suit to walk the financial district for all to see.
