There were plenty of money managers that looked at investing with Madoff, and saw it wasn't a good idea. Yes, he wasn't investigated when he should have been (when he was first reported), absolutely - but anybody who did basic due diligence didn't invest with him.

When a Nigerian Prince asks you for money, you really shouldn't hand it over

"Well, Bernard Madoff pled guilty today in court for running a Ponzi scheme, was immediately taken to jail. Get this, when he was taken to jail, he wasn't wearing a wedding ring. So, you know what that means, guys. In prison, he's available." -- Jay Leno

Looks like reality is finally setting in for Madoff Junior.


The piece of sh*t apparently had some heart issues a few hours before his old college pal and CFO Davis officially threw him under the bus yesterday.



Me thinks mr. big-shot is gunna be spending those golden years in an orange jumpsuit...
