Right now, they just seem like a bunch of pies.

It's a shame there is no fix for the damage to the economy this man has done.

i was just about to say the exact same thing as flamingnun. this dude is a fool for not escaping to some non-extradition treaty country or bribing sum arab sheik with 30 bilion dollars to hide him in his kingdom or something...

what a moron.


also the funny thing is that there are probably dozens of people who did the same kind of shit madoff did, but he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time- he could have probably worked his way out of this mess if the economy hadnt absolutely tanked at the very moment when he was most overstretched.
