*#BernieMadoff Intensifies*
Listening to this interview, I remembered a little about the Madoff trial and sentencing. 150 years for a ponzi scheme that did hurt a lot of average people, but many wealthy ones too.
Well he effed with people's money! He lied! He conned! His sons were in on it! 150 years for a man who was in his 70's! Justice!
Meanwhile, Trump even convicted with his 34 counts of crime, the rape cases, the defamation cases, the botched covid mess where hundreds of thousands died...
Let him run for president! Don't cover He misdeeds! Bash Joe Biden!
Good freaking grief...

#TheGrifters came out after a (not "the) #SavingsAndLoan (manufactured) crisis and used that indirectly in its depiction of greed and the "conned".
It's relevant in this world of #BernieMadoff, #crypto and #NFT's, #Enron, #StockMarkets, #TooBigToFail, all the other cons and con artists we know and acknowledge as such, and all those very many others that are still considered legitimate.
As history proves, the bigger the con, the more people believe and want to get taken...

FYI: Madoff's psychiatrist is in one of the scenes.
History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.
There was once a major criminal fraudster named #BernieMadoff that simultaneously ran a #marketmaker business and a #hedgefund, despite this being a conflict of interest and providing a totally unfair advantage against his competitors, enabling him to perpetrate criminal fraud for decades.
There is another criminal fraudster today named #KenGriffin doing that same thing: simultaneously operating as a hedge fund and a market maker.

#gratitude I got a chance to share a dessert tonight with my partner instead of doing admin work for my podcast for a change. Though we were watching the depressing #Netflix documentary The Monster of Wall Street about the biggest ever ponzi scheme by #BernieMadoff!
I'm watching #BernieMadoff on Netflix, a documentary how his Ponzi scheme worked.
Somehow, it's always the same: the subprime crisis, cryptomarkets, RobinHood, the stock exchange in general...
If you have a trustworthy friend working in the investment sector, try to get em drunk (yeah I know, both very difficult), and then ask them what they think about their clients.
Next morning you'll want to go to IKEA or Jysk to buy socks or a bigger mattress to hide your money in.
The #BernieMadoff documentary on #Netflix is go good. So frustrating. Also, capitalism is bullshit.
George Santos scandal: Democratic predecessor calls him a ‘con man’: “Suozzi likened #Santos to Sam Bankman-Fried and #BernieMadoff, the former a cryptocurrency magnate who has pleaded not guilty to charges of #fraud, the latter sentenced to 150 years in 2009 over the largest #Ponzi scheme in history” USpolitics

Is #SamBankmanFried’s criminal fraud scheme within the monetary scope of #BernieMadoff’s ponzi scheme? Madoff was older and died in prison. Bankman-Fried is young and could spend decades in prison, if convicted.
More reading #geneenroth on losing her money through investing with #berniemadoff: "I spent the first 50 years of my life protecting myself from losses that had already happened." #lostandfound #sundaywords
This whole #FTX thing is a reminder that people didn't learn diddly-squat from the entire #BernieMadoff scandal. This is why it is important to learn history.
Question if USD- #gold link operated like a Ponzi scheme, how is USA government any different from #bernieMadoff
What moral high ground did it have to sentence him for 150 years
