In his own words (from the Barron's and MAR/Hedge articles on Madoff):
“I’m not interested in educating the world
on our strategy, and I won’t get into the nuances of how we manage risk.”
“The strategy is the strategy and the returns are the returns.”

"If you invest with me, you must never tell anyone that you're invested with me. It's no one's business what goes on here."

"Whoever tried to reverse-engineer, he didn't do a good job. If he did, these numbers would not be unusual."

The best ones are from Bernie:

“The strategy is the strategy and the returns are the returns.”

And telling the cops: “It’s all just one big lie”

They're doing it wrong. You're supposed to blame it all on Russia's security services for secretly poisoning the Ukrainian economy.

Nice of Cox to admit banning short selling for financials was a horrible idea.

Nice to reveal he was getting pressure from the Balds.

Not good--basically admitting he had no balls. Way to stick to your principles Coxy.

Oh and Leavitt, STFU you fucking hypocrite.

Markets Clear, peace.

"It's like a member of the family has died, and its name is Money."

It's a good thing this article didn't reinforce any stereotypes about a particular ethnic group.

So...what's going on with Francis Levy? A rather curious hair combo. Sort of Otto Von Bismark-y, except he looks like a burn victim with everything glued on. Weirder and weirder, this whole thing.

Military conquest requires a military capable of something more than minor regional engagements. Like slaughtering some Chechnyans or smacking down Georgia's half-assed army.

Russia's military is a joke.

Stevie Cohen has a message for you Ruskie fucks: not in our house! Or...your house. Now please resume murdering each other.

He who dies with the most pipes directing solid human waste (and hormone syringes) to a suitable treatment facility wins.

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

So, what are the new maxims, and why are those true?

Here's one: we are fucking fucked. Why? Because no one learned a thing.

I hope CNBC laughed in Maria's face when she suggested Fox might be interested. Murdoch will euthanize FBC soon enough. Maria has nowhere to go except Bloomberg and they aren't paying for some used up hag.

So does this mean Obama will stop wasting taxpayer money redecorating Air Farce One? Or would that be too consistent?

A Ken Lay scenario seems more than likely. He's too slick. I vote "cancer".
