Wall Street's biggest fraud

«In public, he was the discreet golfing socialite, member of exclusive clubs in Long Island and Florida, and giving generously to Democrat and Jewish causes. But, in his Manhattan office, he operated behind a wall of secrecy.»

Não percam. Uma história de nos partir o coração.

E já agora, alguns dados sobre este "Dono Preto" (por oposição à nossa Dona Branca) do mega-swindle americoiso:

«Apart from running his "investment company" and being a former chairman and director of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASDAQ) (...), Madoff is a former national treasurer of the American Jewish Congress (AJC) of New York City, one of the major fund-raising organizations for the state of Israel. Founded by the Hungarian Zionist rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the AJC claims to be "the first Jewish Defense Agency to support the establishment of a Jewish state" and boycott Germany in the 1930s. Wise was a Zionist who had been trained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, where Michael Chertoff's rabbi father and grandfather also studied and taught.Madoff is also the treasurer of Yeshiva University, a private Jewish university in New York City, where he is chairman of the board of the university's business school, the Sy Syms School of Business, which he has endowed with large donations, from his "Ponzi" scheme no doubt.»

Etc, etc.

Mas há mais...

Segundo a Forward, o estoiro de Madoff (com um nome gentio destes, estavam à espera de quê?...), lançou ondas de choque sobre todo o empório filantrópico judeu. Uma associação de beneficiência até já fechou e toda a comunidade talmúdica de investidores experimenta um aflitivo aperto mitral no esfíncter.

E no Huffington Post: «For the elite Jewish world, it is a curse of almost biblical proportion. (...)
There was one largely Jewish charity event last evening. "It was like the Titanic," one attendee said. "The ship was sinking, and people were crying, 'I lost this and that.' And everybody was drunk. The Titanic was going down and we might as well carry on."»

Justiça poética, chega quase a ser, não é?...
