Sticky Hands: Cubansaltyballs: F*CK HER.

If I ever saw her walking down the street, I'd throw an egg at her... then steal her cart full of cans.

Don't waste food on her.

Throw a rock.


No. Then she'd just end up in the hospital to get stitches. If I threw an egg... she just have to walk around like that.

Why we shiat on Mrs. Madoff:

1. Her first move is to try to claim a "Not Yours!" on about $70 MM in family money that she claims is "hers, and unrelated to the fraud". As if, well, there's one account for all the money we made "legitimately" that Ruth should be allowed to keep; and, there's another account (oddly empty) where the Madoff's stashed all the money we weren't supposed to make. FAIL.

2. Her second move, post quasi-confession of Bernie is to suddenly FedEx majillion$ worth of trinkets to relatives in FL. FAIL!

3. Her third move is to try to go about her usual life getting her hair colored, eating cobb salad and etc. in all the usu. high end 5th Ave places regardless of the fact that many of the other patrons there are also the victims of HER FAMILY! FAIL!!

4. Her fourth move is still to try to run off with fur coats and crap for herself. Now that the $70 MM won't fly, surely a $50,000 fur coat is just "little people money", right? FAIL!!!

Ruth, baby, wake up! Much as you want to claim how "shocked, I mean, shocked!!" you are that Bernie wasn't a superhumanly gifted asset manager, you walked in on his arm to who knows how many parties, you schmoozed the schmoozers, you cut the form, and you acted out the part of a woman who was married to a guy who was full of the most golden shiat. You were only the two legged "accessory" to his fraud, a little more than walnut paneling that talks. FAIL!!!!

In the process he raped and pillaged only about 1,000 of "your most intimate 'friends'", so fark you, Ruth if none of them ever want to see you ever again. You're lucky nobody [yet] put a Molotov in your dumbwaiter, biatch!

Riche [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 01:19:52 AM  
I don't get it. What's with all the hate for Ruth Madoff?

Meh. I'm OK with her getting out with $2.5 million.

As I understand it, Ruth Madoff was not involved in the scam. Maybe she suspected something dishonest was up, but with that much money coming in just about any human would end up in denial.

The investment income on $2.5M would be around $75K a year, I guess. Not too shabby (I wish I was pulling in that kind of money) but an amount that clearly leaves her in the middle class.

Forcing that old woman to move out of the penthouse and into whatever closet sized apartment one can make rent on in NYC on $75K a year is punishment enough.

Of course, she could move to Oklahoma and live pretty darn well on that amount, but that would mean living in shudder Oklahoma.

He took huge sums of money from investors, used that same money to pay "dividends" to other investors to make his business look legit, and pocketed the rest. Repeatedly.

Senator Palpatine calls up Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala to tell them of an awesome investment retirement scheme. They each give him $100.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $200.

Palpatine then calls up Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu and Agen Kolar to tell them of his awesome scheme. They each give him $100.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $600. He pays Anakin and Amidala their original $100 investment plus $20 in "dividends," which was actually just money collected from Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu and Agen Kolar.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $360. He pays himself $20.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $340.

Palpatine then calls up Han Solo, Chewbacca, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ki Adi Mundi and Bail Organa to tell them of his awesome scheme. They each give him $100.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $940. He pays Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu and Agen Kolar their original $100 investment plus $20 in "dividends."

Palpatine's "fund" now has $460. He pays Anakin and Padme an additional $20 in "dividends."

Palpatine's "fund" now has $420. He pays himself $20.

Palpatine's "fund" now has $400.

The "fund" is in fact just a Ponzi Scheme -- he pretends to be investing people's money, when he's actually just taking money from new investors and using it to pay "earnings" to old investors.

The problem is, if you run out of new investors -- like Madoff eventually did -- the whole thing comes crashing down and people -- especially the newest investors who haven't seen any "returns" yet -- lose their money.

You do realize she not only knew what was going on, but attempted to hide assets for this scumbag before his arrest? The only reason she's not up on charges, I suspect, is because of whatever deal that was worked out with the Justice Department.

"Confused?" "Betrayed?" Please. She gets no sympathy from me.

i think we should look at the other side of the coin. im pretty sure she believed bernie was a wicked investor. she is beautiful, and women go after power and success. she is the cheerleader and he was the quarterback. she probably didnt even know he was 'roided up and cheating his way to the superbowl, you know?

i think its important to take her ignorance into the equation and stop throwing so much bile her way. she probably deserves her 2.5 million, and many many more millions on top of that. She shouldn't suffer because she was unaware any more than the present day jews should suffer because their ancestors killed jesus.

/seriously, if you dont look at the other side of the coin, you will seriously make false accusations.

DBrandisNC: Except for that $2.5 million.

Pretty sure they let her keep that.


We'll see...


Ruth Madoff agreed to give up all of her possessions in return for a promise that federal prosecutors would not pursue $2.5 million not tied to the fraud. The money, though, is not protected from civil legal actions that might be pursued by a court-appointed trustee liquidating Madoff's assets or by investor lawsuits.

HI.

I think maybe we should look at the other side of the coin, again.

a) Sometimes people that are the same person have multiple personality disorders and aren't responsible for what their other selves do, so even if they are the same person legally, they won't each go to jail. Also, the other side of the coin would say that they are not the same person legally or they would both, like, go to jail together, right? sometimes its important to look at it from another persons perspective.

b) If we think about this from a perspective not our own, im sure not all married couples tell everything. everything is a lot of things, and im sure he didnt tell her when he pooped, what it looked like, how sushi tasted to him, how often he masturbated, who he was ripping off, or how purples looks to him as opposed to her. maybe i might be wrong, but i like to look at both sides of every issue.

c) from the opposite perspective point of view, i assume that she thought she knew what he was doing, making boat loads of money, buying cristal, paying for bikini waxes and having penis surgery to give him a wang as big as his schnoze, i think its important to realize the power corrupts and absolute power corrupts awesomely, and the other point of view in this situation would claim that sometimes people are good at lying, even to their innocent, beautiful, big-breasted wifes.

I know its easy to turn her into joan of arc, but we should instead realize that the other side of the coin sometimes makes light on an otherwise dark situation.

thank you.

Not that she should live high on the hog from ill-gotten gain, but it's entirely plausible she lived for decades with no direct knowledge of the family business. Hell, everyone thought it was on the up and up for quite a long time. I don't know that she didn't know, but it's certainly possible, which would make her yet another person to have been farked by Bernie Maddof
