Bernie: So Jerome, listen, that virus you’re always talking about. The one that that could rip off the company for a bunch of money…
Jerome: Yeah? What about it?
Bernie: Well, how does it work?
Jerome: It’s pretty brilliant. What it does is where there’s a bank transaction, and the interests are computed in the thousands a day in fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off. What this does is it takes those remainders and puts it into your account.
Bernie: This sounds familiar.
Jerome: Yeah, They did it in Superman III.

Shazbot, I feel like we crossed over into bizaro DealBreaker. You finally have a winning post (note that @3 thought it was Bess) and it’s the comments that are a snooze fest.
Good boy. Take the next two days off.

My name is Bernie Madoff; I’m a PC, just like BG.

The reason that everyone knew that Madoff was a fraud was this: His funds were closed except if you went through a “Feeder Fund”. That makes no sense at all. Either its closed or not. Yet, these Feeders were sending Billions to Madoff all the while his fund was closed. That was the big “tell” for Wall Street. You didnt see Harvard, Stamford, Columbia or Yale invest with him.

You don’t actually need anything more powerful than an AS/400 to fake some paperwork.

It was an OPEN secret on Wall Street that Madoff was a complete fraud. Ask anyone. No one was suprised. That is the dirty little secret.

The truth is, Harry M. had this whole thing figured out & was screaming from the rooftops. No one at the SEC paid attention – they have liability and they are trying to whitewash it.

Would be useful for the American public to have the names of each and every one of the SEC’s examiners of Madoff’s fraud (say from 1999 to 2008 or so) disclosed. At least some sort of public ridicule of these people involved in this case could provide some minimal comfort to the victims and taxpayers…
