I know this story is sort of ubiquitous, but it can't hurt to emphasize how awful this guy is. I mean, the guy cost his investors 50 billion dollars. That's with a B. Billions of dollars is not foreign to us, but it's not something you hear with individuals. Bill Gates' entire net worth is $58 billion, roughly the same ballpark as the amount stolen. Or, put another way, $50 billion is also roughly the same amount the government has spent on AIG, Chrysler, and GM combined - and it'll get some of that money back.
What really did it for me, though, was that he defrauded his own sister out of millions, leaving her with "nothing" (though to be fair, I'm not sure what "nothing" means to a millionaire).

I second every word you have written, because Bernie Madoff is a bad guy and he won't go to jail like the rest of us. so he really sucks ass. sorry for the profanity!
ReplyDeleteJust because you steal 50 billion dollars of other peoples' money. does'nt mean your just a bad guy, it means you've been assigned a first class ticket to Hell!!!!
ReplyDeleteKarma, man, karma. This dude won't have enough lifetimes to pay off all the damage he's done. I hope he rots in hell. Although that's not a karmic concept.
ReplyDeleteWe found a great way to wipe the smirk off Bernie's face.
ReplyDeleteHis face is printed on toiletpaper.
