Funny, I was thinking the same thing about Lance Armstrong this weekend. They are going after him like bloodhounds, want to strip his titles, erase his records, get award money back, etc. I just kept thinking to myself about all the financial bigwigs who “lost” all that money. Even the ex-gov of NJ seems to be untouchable even though he was top dog at his house of financial scam. Maybe we should accuse these guys of steroid abuse and maybe justice will be served?

It wasn’t that Madoff went bankrupt — it was the fact that the only people whom he ripped off were ultra-rich motherfuckers who were so fucking greedy that they bought his lie that he could get them a guaranteed 50+% return on investment and when caveat emptor wasn’t good enough for them they demanded the government step in and help them out.

Seriously, people like my old employer Sheldon Solow — #227 on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans — were the ONLY people who lost money with Madoff, and he lost a shitload and I couldn’t fucking be happier about it.

The good ole boys club is alive and well.

If you’re rich, then no law applies to you. (Unless you happen to go bankrupt like Madoff.)

But, as long as your’re rollin’ in the dough, it’s “no worries”.

I lost faith in not only the sanity of the right wing nut jobbers wearing tri-cornered hats, but also in the fat fucks sitting in the FBI and the DOJ, no less the SEC.

Our nation is so truly, royally, friggin’ fucking fucked up the ass.

Off topic but this post prompted me to ask myself the question again. Since the news at the weekend of Neil Armstrong’s passing, I keep wondering how we – the US, UK, world – got from the hope and achievement of One small step and One giant leap to where we are now!

Actually, if you consider the political timing—-if Holder or the DOJ moves on any banker or trading firm anywhere, the Republicans would and could use it as an cudgel against those superrich groups to dump even more money into campaigning against the Democratic candidates, so not moving now actually makes sense. Not moving at all….is just infuriating.
