Madoff Ate The Rich For Breakfast

There is something disgraceful about someone who steals more than they could possible spend in several lifetimes. $50 billion might not sound like a lot. Try this: $50 000 000 000. Not to put that into perspective, you can buy an amazing house for $5 000 000. Are you telling me that Madoff wanted to buy himself 10 000 houses worth $5 million?

Mark my words - as more and more people become economic losers, they are going to turn on the flithy rich with a vengeance. Wealth is about to go underground. It's about to go COMPLETELY out of vogue. It's about to become target practise for the growing mob of have-nots.

"There were a lot of very sophisticated people who were duped, and that happens a great deal when you've had somebody decide to be unscrupulous," said Harvey Pitt, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a regulatory agency in charge of monitoring investment funds like the one Madoff operated.
