2. So the 10 million bail is 'supposed to' be legit?
Edited on Mon Dec-15-08 01:18 AM by Amonester
What about the elder lady who wrote that crook a $1,000,000.00 check and will never ever see it coming back her way??

Don't tell me that mad off ali baba hasn't "hidden" a lot of his loot on some obscure off-shore tropical island!!

Why is it that no "judges" ask from where that 10 MILLION "bail" is (or would be) coming from??

Elder women?? How many of 'em? 10?

:mad: :off:

POLICE EVERYWHERE
JUSTICE NOWHERE

5. from WSJ
New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon, GMAC LLC Chairman J. Ezra Merkin and former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman were among the dozens of seemingly sophisticated investors who placed money on what could prove to be history's largest financial scam.

Giant French bank BNP Paribas, Tokyo-based Nomura Holdings Inc. and Neue Privat Bank in Zurich are also exposed, according to people familiar with the matter.

And at least three funds of hedge funds -- which raise money from investors and farm it out to hedge funds -- may have significant losses. Fairfield Greenwich Group and Tremont Capital Management of New York placed hundreds of millions of their investors' dollars into funds overseen by Mr. Madoff. On Friday, Maxam Capital Management LLC reported a combined loss of $280 million on funds they had invested with Mr. Madoff.

"I'm wiped out," said Sandra Manzke, Maxam's founder and chairman. The Darien, Conn., fund of hedge funds will have to close as a result of the losses, she said....

Older, Jewish investors called Mr. Madoff " 'the Jewish bond,' " says Ken Phillips, head of a Boulder, Colo., investment firm. "It paid 8% to 12%, every year, no matter what."
