Picture 495.pngIn our ongoing saga to determine whether or not the Madoff sons, Mark and Andy, really had no idea their family business was a scam, we’ve said several times that one the one hand, how could they not, and on the other: FISH. We’ve received 387 pictures of the boys and they are posing with fish on every single one, sometimes with rods in their mouths, always with dumb looks on their faces. Fishing, quite literally, appears to be all they do, and we’re nearly convinced they might’ve had no knowledge of the Ponz. Today, a tipster intimately familiar with the Madoff brothers’ fishier pursuits (he would be the one you have to thank for the many family photos) writes with info that seems to strengthen the argument that the boys (or at least Andy) are innocent:

Surprised more people have not pointed out that the woman that was with Andy Madoff shopping in SoHo was his girlfriend Katherine Hooper not his wife Deb… they separated early last year…new girlfriend works for him at Abel Reels and this is not a joke…two weeks before the scandal broke he was bragging how she got a tattoo of his name on her ass.

Basically, what with the fish and the asses, there simply wasn’t enough room in Andy’s brain to stuff in things like a $50 billion scam. Pic of the Hooper after the jump. I’ll give you two guesses as to what she’s doing, but you’ll only need one.

  19. Posted by guest | January 5, 2009 at 4:33 PM

    16 I’m going to disagree with you there girl. Not everyone is ambitious in the Ibanker sense. Hitching your star to a decent looking guy, with tons of money, who is all to happy to supply you with a hobby job (the bait and tackle shop gig) and bring you someplace where the sky and water are warm and blue is not the worst thing.

  20. Posted by guest | January 5, 2009 at 4:34 PM

    19 again… now that I see it posted, my point is muddled, but what I’m trying to say is that a lot of relationships are like business deals, with both parties making concessions and enjoying benefits. And there’s no harm in that. Doesnt necessarily make one of the participants ho-like.

    If I were the Feds, I’d keep an eye out on their rods, reels and tackles and make sure they aren’t being mailed out to safehouses.

  27. Posted by guest | January 5, 2009 at 5:03 PM

    Lets assume that the boys did not in fact know about the scheme. They probably took home lots of money from their toils on the broker dealer side of the business. That goose is gone now, and to the extent they invested their earnings with dad, thats gone too. I suspect though that their remaining personal assets are significant and beyond the reach of the law. In short, these are still two wealthy boys, hence no shame at being caught crusing through Soho on a post-scandal shopping trip. Thoughts?

    Technically its not 100% that you can’t be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you’re tattood/pierced. I’m too lazy but NYT had a article about it a while back.

    Years from now when this fairytale romance has produced offspring, you can picture the dinner table conversation.
    Daughter: “Mom, when did you know that you and Dad were in love?”
    Katherine: “Well dear, I knew your father and I were meant to be together when he had his name tattooed on my ass.”
    Daughter: “That’s so romantic. Now I know what it will be like when I find my true love.”

    In the top picture she has more make-up on than a circus clown and in the bottom picture she looks like Britney Spears with the white trash vacation dreads and the uneven burn of her flapjacks. I hope he doesn’t let this catch get away.

    How many people are hoping there is a guy named Bubba waiting for Bernie up in Sing-Sing getting ready to tatoo “Bubba” on Bernie’s ass? Maybe Andy will end up with “Jerome” on his ass someday? We can only hope….

    I’m 59…remember well as a kid watching Alpern & Heller do the books for my Dad’s firm..Then Horowitz slid in, and Ruth’s Dad told everyone his future son-in-law Bernie wouldn’t amount to shit. Later they brought in Avelino…then Bienes. These 2 schmucks came to my factory on Long Island every week for years doing my books. This was in the late 70′s. Believe me, bienes was the real schmuck of the gang. My brother once asked him what courses he was teaching at a local south Florida genius college, and Bienes answered in his nauseatingly speechimpedified tone, “why BWAIN SOYGERREE, OF COURSE” Our family had a huge fund with Avelino Bienes for years…turning off 20-30% interest income on “loans” for years. When the shit hit the fan, the SEC disgourged the profits and income, along with fines. My DAD went nuts, even though we all got everyones dough back, plus interest, we all thought the gravy train with the Jewish Bernie Bonds were over. After A&B were dumped, I called Bernie and we sat on the phone for hours trying to figure out a new vehicle on how to set up the feeders again in a legal manner.I could tell right away that Bernie had NO experience setting up this type of operation; he suggested we start an investment club…my Brother and I told him about LLC’c with 100 accredited investors. It flew, but only after we were told that the prospectus/offering could NOT mention Madoff. As soon as we had the deal rolling, we printed all our docs clearly indicating that all funds will be with Bernard Madoff Securities…he saw it, and never said a word.All 100 investors knew from the start that their $ was going to BM, which we all now know is the abreviation for shit! getting late, much more to tell tomorrow. stay tuned

    I couldn’t agree more. If people do not “practice what they preach” do not hire them. Nobody’s perfect but they need to be making a great attempt to do the things they are going to ask you to do. Social media has got to be aspect of the overall sales and marketing strategy which falls away from your strategic plan. Men and women are dabbling in social media and that is okay however the results are going to be limited. You can get great results for the business with social media but you need a cohesive plan.
