What a guy! Conned some of the worlds biggest funds and richest people. We've had 2 of our clients nearly wiped out by him through his feeder funds in Greece and Austria.

“…clients of his secretive investment advisory business - from Florida retirees to celebrities such as Steven Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon and Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax - for decades enjoyed steady double-digit returns.”

:shock: Steven Spielberg is investing??? What else does he plan to buy paradise? :roll:

You know, I'm starting to like this Bernie Madoff... :lol:

FUnny thing is if it wasn't for the crisis he would still be going. The only reason he was found out was because he was considered the profitable one so people tried to pull their money from him first before his performance fell along with the others. :lol:

Good on him! He cheated the greedy and lived the life of a king! I’d happily expire at 71 after such a good life… :lol:

It also helps that investors ignored their financial statements which contained plenty of red flags as to Madoff's operations. If you don't let yourself see the crime, then perhaps it wasn't committed? :lol:

Dinos, welcome back.

I just heard that the Feds just kicked out Mrs Madoff from her deluxe apartment in Manhattan.!

She will be forced to go and live in Florida now with all other retirees.! :lol: :lol:
