It's a long read, but this is like Dean Koontz meets the real world. You can choose not to believe it, or you can pick your jaw up off the floor like I did after gazing into the abyss of naked short selling.

All you know about Madoff is a lie. All that money is overseas sitting in an account waiting for the big guys that Madoff worked for and that are protecting him from the IRS.

The IRS triggered the confession!

Surf`s Up!

The same people who have allowed these accounts to continue? How many in our Government have offshore accounts? How many have interest in CEO and Wallstreet?

Wow. Good catch, Gumwars. This is going to be a fascinating, and horrifying, series. This man has stalked the Devil, for sure. Thanks.

All Theory's aside, I think he just screwed everyone without regard and he would be safer in Jail. Well, maybe he won't be safe there either. "fingers crossed"

Our society is quick to punish drug dealers and petty thieves. Once it's faced with a man responsible for wiping out thousands of people's livelihood it will at the most convict with a less than 10 year sentence. Which will be lessened with good behaviour.

This guy will serve three years in a low security country club, then write a book or two about the affair. We'll be watching the made for TV movie before Obama is out of office.
