So Bernie gets his free place in a secure retirement home, but where is the money. Perhaps the feds should start digging on Mt Sion?

i am glad you feel insulted ..... i think it's pretty insulting to throw around allegations about Madoff's jewish background being his major selling weapon.
leave the emotions and ethnic background nonsense out of it
to my mind there are are only a couple of major issues, neither of which have any bearing at all on Madoff being jewish
1)
He was an ace con-man who easily convinced many very wealthy and sophisticated investors in all sorts of walks of life to place their savings in his apparent safe hands
that Madoff was jewish was an almost total irrelevance.
it was his business background of having been non-exec chairman of Nasdaq and founder of one of the most successful MM businesses in USA that would readily have convinced most that he was a singularly trustworthy and financially sound and knowledgeable guy
2)
US SEC were supremely culpable in refusing to act at all on the info that was passed to them several (10?) years ago.
i actually wonder how long it will be before a class action is brought against them fro gross negligence.

A very wealthy Jewish man once told me never trust anyone whose name ends in Ski or Sky I never understood why, he also told me that Jewish children are brought up to believe they are better than other humans I have found tha to be true, most of the Jewish people that I have met in my life have that arrogent, I am better, or richer than you attitude.

i suppose your parents also told you that jews drank the blood of christian children and most assuredly peed in milk bottles left on your doorstep.
some of you guys really are totally laughable, especially as i guess you are meant to be among the more intelligent and sophisticated of the population.
goodness knows what other balderdash and mindless prejudices you pass on to your children - and it really is frightening.
by the way, it also looks as though you have no inkling as to the background and cultural differences between ashkenazi and sephardic jews ...... at a guess, i would say that your "very wealthy jewish man" was of the latter

I do not understand that bit of your post, my parents did not tell me anything about jews they were good Christians.
If you had read my previous post you would know that it was the wealthy jew who was telling me these stories. No matter anyway at least BM F****** a lot of them.

"I have found tha to be true, most of the Jewish people that I have met in my life have that arrogent, I am better, or richer than you attitude" ...... is that so? ...... so no doubt you tell your children the same, even if it certainly would not stand up to scrutiny
Pope Pius X11 was a good christian too, or so we are led to believe!

grace and trolley have nothing to do with one another, unless perhaps one is dancing on the latter.
however, i confess i have always found it better to say things the way they are - or at least the way i see them - than to pussyfoot around ...... if somewone wants to be a bigotted and prejudiced ass, then i feel perfectly at liberty to tell them so .... and if (as!) the cap fits someone on this thread, then so be it.

cyniic so you are the judge but not the executioner, its a pity you can't bring yourself to condemn Madoff just because he is a dishonest jew having stolen millions of dollars from fellow jews that trusted him.

Madoff is self-condemned as a con-man and swindler.
SEC is self-condemned as a bunch of supremely negligent so-called watchdogs
it really is very noticeable how you keep harping on about the fact that Madoff happens to be jewish.
what point are you trying to make?
what relevance his ethnic origins?
to pursue that line .....
was it actually relevant that Eichmann was a jew?
was it relevant that Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli was NOT jewish?
