Bernie Madoff: Screwing The SEC, Anyone That Tickles His Fancy From Inside The Joint
CNBC reports the first bits of news from Bernie Madoff's latest prison interview. First off, he cannot express how crazy it is that he got away with all this but if he had to identify one reason it was probably so easy was the fact that "everything the SEC did before 2006" was a "waste of time." Also? That broad running the new and improved Securities and Exchange Commission? Mary Schapiro? She's "a dear friend" of the Master o' Ponz. So basically this is how it's going to work. Every few months, for remainder of his sentence, Bernie's going ruin someone's reputation by claiming they are one of his close personal friends, trusted advisor or fuck buddy. Who's next? You tell us.
Update: Oh god it keeps getting better. Whistleblower "Harry Markopolos" was "a joke inside the industry" and "jealous" of Madoff's returns.
