Say It To His Face

Picture 371.png
Breathe easy, my chippies. Geoffrey Raymond, who needs no introduction, has finally thrown his two cents into the Madoff Movie of the Week, in the form of some paint on canvass that looks a bit more like Tony Bennett than Bernie Madoff (and yet: who cares, really?). But he’s not done yet cause he needs YOUR help. Raymond has requested that Dealbreaker readers share their thoughts vis-a-vis Mr. Ponzi, preferably in the form of one-liners, which he will then annotate onto the thing. Looking forward, think about scraping together $28,000, which is the asking price for the masterpiece.
