Oh yeah, that happened. The Daily Beast has whole bunch of Madoff family photos today, depicting Ponzi Nation in happier times. Our favorites after the jump (and obviously above). Something tells us Richard Cohen will appreciate one in particular.

Apparently the ????, was steal a lot of money from as many people as possible. The shitty shirts were just to throw off the SEC.

32 Interesting. This shows purchases of a lot of blue chips. I guess there's a part later that shows sales of same at a higher price. I guess also that it took some effort and energy to identify post facto the appropriate entry and exit prices to put on the statements in a way that doesn't look entirely suspicious. Bern had to be a little too busy for that. If I were his office manager, that woman with the Bentley and the big houses on Long Island and in Boca, I would be wondering when the FBI was going to start asking difficult questions.

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
