Picture 1834.pngBrokers recently suffered the indignity of being “cattle-called” into the house that lies like “you can trust me with your money” built to assess what the sale of 133 East 64th Street might fetch. What kind of figure are we looking at? Talkin’ Neverland Ranch numbers? Apparently not, for three reasons. A. taint of the scam 2. the place is a shithole D. no nudie shots of Ruth left behind (I’m serious about that one).

One of the agents there guessed that the penthouse is worth $8 million, but will sell for less because of its ignominy–and its condition, which, despite Mr. Madoff’s reputation for punctiliousness, is imperfect. “So not triple-mint,” an agent said. “That to me was incredibly surprising.”
“I thought it was eerie,” another said. “The place was left as if someone got out in the middle of the night. All the clothes were there, there was a note,* there was a cup of coffee on, I think, his desk. The only thing that was gone were the photos: the picture frames had no pictures.”

*Dated December 10, it appears to be a list of pros/cons to confessing. Cons include: “Ruth’s gonna be so mad,” pros: “I’ll finally get to see what D taste like.”

    @11 clusterstock is, in all seriousness, such a fucking shit site. they’re not funny, they’re not smart, all they do is copy and paste entire stories and/or do gay little “contrarian” pieces that just make them look like idiots.

    It amazes me that there is NO OUTRAGE from the American People regarding the S.E.C. who allowed this fraud to continue after numerous warnings in writing by several people in the investment arena. They are making an example of this particular crook (there are many more on Wall). St. to mitigate thier own culpability in this Caper! They are paid to protect the American People not Bernie Madoff. And this is the Government that wishes to gain control of Banks, Auto Corporations and Healthcare?
