#7  SteveS,
It's better than that. The liberals were giving him money to invest in the name of these "charities". He then proceeded to steal the money. No money, no activity by these charities.

Life is good.

#6  So in a nutshell, Madoff was stealing money from a certain set of people and giving it to their favorite causes and charities. He is like a modern day Robin Hood.

#2  Madoff seems well-experienced to head up the Social Security Administration. One Ponzi scheme is pretty much like another. After he gets out of prison, that is.

#1  Shock, horror and surprise.
