By which they mean the millions of dollars worth of “Hannukah gifts” he mailed out while under house arrest, not the $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Also likely indicative of a lack of respect for the “rules” is that sitch with the barnyard animals and Cool Whip, but that’s not pertinent to our case. What Mades may be locked up for, if prosecutors successfully get bail revoked, are the 13 watches, a diamond necklace, an emerald ring, 2 sets of cufflinks, a diamond bracelet, Cartier and Tiffany watches, four diamond brooches, and a jade necklace that he and wife Ruth still claim were merely sent to family members as holiday gifts, and not to hoard assets. The defense has til the end of the day to turn in what should be a delightful argument as to why big boy shouldn’t have to bunk with Bubba.

What’s sad is that the prosecutors are not really worried about Bernie posing a threat to the rest of society. (I don’t think anyone is cutting him a check if he calls.) And if he’s a flight risk, he probably would have bounced already.
The prosecutor just wants to be the guy who revoked bernie’s bail to look good for future political purposes.
I’d be monitoring his payPal account as well, or is that set up using Junior’s email?
can i get on his gift list WOW
@4 I’m with you. Hey Bernie, send me a watch, I’ll never snitch.
Dear Bernie,
I would like you to gift me 1ea Patek Philippe timepiece, 1ea Mercedes Benz S600, Any F/IF/VS1 DEF color diamonds.
Drop these off with Bess we can sort the rest out later. Best of luck in prison.
Dear Dad,
Thanks for the watch! Don’t worry, once the economy picks back up you’ll be out and well be doing business again in no time. but this time lets give them 8% in stead of 15%, you got a bit greedy last time. why did you give mark the nicer watch? Can i get the apt?

Ruth could at least have mailed out a signed copy of the Kosher Cookbook.Cheapskate!
OY VEY!
Dear Uncle Bernie,
Thanks for the Hannukah Mittens. They are kind of scratchy though – it feels like some small stones are sewn into the bottom of each seam – am I supposed to tell Mommy or is this one of our double-secret gifts? Like the Barbie Aunt Ruth sent me last month – why is her handbag so lumpy?
Your loving Niece
The ironic thing is — he should have been in jail in the first place. Whats 1 Million dollars after one has ripped off Billions?
@11:
Why rip off billions when you could rip off millions???
ooh ooh ahh ahh ahh
s/b hoard not horde like the multi-millionaire mob with pitchforks coming to get this slithering excuse for a man
s/b whored not hoard like the multi-millionaire mob with pitchforks coming to get this slithering excuse for a man
And this slithering excuse of a Man is not long for this world either. Could be gone, in one way or another, by Jan 31st. The Russian Mob does not forgive.
Your honor, my cliets have been totally cooperative, they are paying for the cost of their house arrest and have complied with all restrictions on their persons. They continue to be cooperative. In fact your honor, my clients have been merely doing some long planned gifting to close relatives and friends. There was no intent to disregard this court’s order and the gifts were fully disclosed. As there was no intent to violate the law there is no need to change the court’s present orders. My clients’ flight risk profile has not been affected by their making these gifts. There is no risk of any assets being lost.
I believe the court’s original orders correctly assessed the circumstances of this case. I would therefore ask that the court continue with it’s present orders with regard to my clients.
However, in the interests of all concerned all deliveries and removals from my clients property should be examined and pre-approved appropriately.
It is pizza bun night at Rikers this evening!
Cool HWIP.
whip.
HWIP.
whip.
So that means, @15, the Russian Mob will accomplish what the FBI, SEC and American Criminal Justice System will not be able to?
Here’s their defense:
Package was sent Dec. 28. Ruth agreed to freeze her assets Dec. 30. These were Ruth’s items. Therefore, since it was before 12/30 – she was entitled to send them.
@19-
don’t forget the Colombians. They don’t like their coca money being “lost”.
-mrp
Dear Pop,
Thanks for the diamond encrusted Patek and Submariner, which will serve me well at the Congressional Hearing and on bonefishing trips respectively.
Your faithful son,
Andy
btw this Russian mob thing is freaking me out. I am talking to the Feds and may be entering the witness protection program and moving with the kids to Idaho. I hear the fishing there ROCKS!
As long as they don’t take away his straw so he can continue to drink diet coke.
Andy Boy: you’d better break out those Goyim Disguise kits NOW! Those Russians have definitly become players in this story. You can run but you can’t hide from them, especially in New York!
Can we just put this f*cker in jail now?
I can’t believe he is still out on bail or that no one has beat the shit out of him yet.
YET is the definitive word here. Bernie’s beat-down is coming. The longer he waits for it, the bigger and more brutal it will be. He probably won’t even make it to the prison gang bang.
Don’t the Russians have silencers on their Glocks these days?
Columbians or Russians; whoever is first. Either way, he’s Dead Man Walking.
If Bernie goes to the Big House, it’s on the taxpayer’s dollar. I’m fine with him under house arrest, as long as they put Ruth on house arrest too. They have documents with her name on them, right? And she’s sending out millions in jewelry, right?
Let them imprison themselves at their own expense, says I.
@28 – that scenario won’t last long. He would actually be safer and live longer in prison.
It won’t be long before their “prison”, at Park/64th, goes on the selling block, along with any other assets. What then?
@29,@30. @28 here. I did not mean forever. I meant – until he is convicted. I would rather him not be eating at my expense (though the thought of him in jail is highly amusing) until necessary. Once convicted, he HAS to go to jail. ALl I am saying is: until then, let him pay for his own security/jail.
Yeah, so sale of the Park Ave. digs are inevitable, and the $$$ will go toward retribution in this “fund” they are trying to create for victims. The point here is that this fucker and his wife probably won’t make it to the trial/conviction/sentencing/serve time stage anyway. Once they are knocked off (or disappear, although getting knocked off is more likely at this point) the Park Ave Palace will fall into the hands of The People first. The chances of them getting as far as eating 3 squares a day on the taxpayers dime are very slim at this point.
28 Weird logic. Assume it takes a year to convict and that it costs maybe $100,000 per annum to house a prisoner. Seems like a small price for the public to pay to see some satisfying revenge.
@27– don’t you think that Daddy Noel, who’s retained some(all?) his ill-gotten wealth, would apply that towards making his son-in-law’s coca customers whole rather then wave his son-in-law and brood off to the witness protection program?
does he really want to see those pure bred blondes go brunette or ginger for the rest of their lives, referred to as names like jane, dorothy or eunice?
@33
Somehow I think the $100k is a little high (not too high though), also, I think the people who’ve been taken (some by their own idiocy of course) would rather see a more “natural” form of revenge…
Can’t take their house, assbags. That’s why OJ was bankrupt but lived in a $15mm palace in florida (which angry doosh ron goldman couldn’t get).
- not hiding from russian or columbian gangsters. The new killin it.
34 After paying back legit claimants, do you really think there’s going to be enough of that wealth left to satisfy the coca crowd?
36 That’s true in Florida. Anyone know the rules in CT?
@37– seems to me the coca claimants are “senior subordinated.” you pay them back first and foremost, plus tip them next year’s 10%!
Can I get on the list for his upcoming mailing of Martin Luther King Day presents?
