A lot of people are dubious as to whether or not the Madoff brothers, Mark and Andy, really had no idea the firm they were working for was–what’s the word?–a Ponzi scheme. How could they not, right? Perhaps because while daddy was busy defrauding everyone in the Western world, they were giving fishing tutorials.

I don’t buy it. I just can’t, Bess.
Obviously they were good fishermen. They learned from their father. As we all know, his investors bought it hook, line, and sinker!
And BOOM goes the dynamite.
Yes, this was lame, I know, but I couldn’t resist.

@6: I think I would have said there was definitely something fishy about their business.
@7/8- nice try. except that when db removes it it’s in italics. amateur.
@9 – touché
@10,
Great work Dick Tracy!!
Jews fish?
Look at the giddy brown man being reeled in…from Boca to S. Asia/Princeton, no one’s safe.
The kids look berderline autistic (not that anything is wrong with that). Dad must be so proud, not spending time with the retards and spending all his time at the office molesting collies and defrauding charities.
analyst programs to be extinct; cost -$250K, not incliding extra lip we have to endure in this PC/touch feely new order

Those “kids” live in Greenwich, sending the grandkids to private school. So, they may look dumb, but they’re laughing all the way to the bank, “innocent” as they are.
this is what bankers do
not banging models…
Oh, they’re into saltwater fishing as well. There’s no telling how much they have in gear. The entire $50 Billion may be wrapped up in their hobby.
Gob and Buster had no idea what George Sr. was up to.
16 The guy saying that they’ll be extinct consults regarding outsourcing, and therefore benefits from them becoming extinct. A little conflict there, which makes me think that the reality is not so simple. We already know that pitchbooks can be put together in the third world for less. All professional services firms (accounting, law) however use this type of model – a lot of people at the bottom, often overpaid for the value they generate – as a way of developing future talent. Not saying its right or perfect, but its not gonna change overnight.
20, you’re an all right guy in my book.
@20 – that’ hilarious
You can sneeze $10K in fly fishing, even if your not trying to look impressive. If the guy is buying Abel reels just because they are “the best”. I suspect it looks more like this. Multiple reels per rod (maybe three, since he was a jackass) and the salesman saw him coming. A 5 weight rod, a 6, an 8 for Salmon. A 1 weight because brookies are a blast on them. Regular waders, hip waders, neoprene, wet wading gear. Sunglasses based on lighting conditions. Vests and hip packs with just the right configuration for the waters. Oh and I haven’t really even gotten to rods yet. This guy sounds like he would have insisted on at least a couple bamboo rods ($2-3K plus per). If this guy spent less that $50-100K on gear alone he never met a half decent salesman the entire time he was fishing.
24 = douche.
@24 stop blogging and keep selling fishing rods
@ 25 & 26,
Sorry guys, I have to add this for buddy at 24…
@24, 8 for salmon? Maybe at a Great Lakes farm; stay home, or at the fish-guy shop like 26 suggests. Just stay away from here or the West Coast.

@20 They’ve made a HUGE mistake.
I originally posted the text of @24 in the previous thread replying to a specific question about a $10,000 estimate of Madoff gear cost. I didn’t copy/paste it into this thread as guest. I can’t speak to why guest @24 thought it was a good idea to hijack it.
@27, Yes, in Alaska I have used an 8 for salmon. It was the right rod, at least for me, for the stream conditions.
20 wins
@29 all rods are the right rod for you.
Bounty on all members of Madoff family… will eliminate three before dec’09… email eliminator99@hushmail.ru… svedborg palannin
