Mad on for Madoff

Bernard Madoff was born into a Jewish family in the New York City borough of Queens. Although he lived in a ranch house in Roslyn, New York, Madoff has owned an ocean-front residence in Montauk since 1981. His primary residence, valued at more than $5 million, is on Manhattan's Upper East Side. He also owns a home in France and a $9.3 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida on the Intercoastal Waterway just north of Flagler Memorial Bridge. He is a member of the Palm Beach Country Club and owns a 55-foot fishing boat named Bull.

Madoff served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University, as well as Treasurer of its Board of Trustees. Madoff also served on the Board of New York City Center, a member of New York City's Cultural Institutions Group (CIG). He served on the executive council of the Wall Street division of the UJA Foundation of New York, a Jewish foundation.

Madoff undertook charity work for The Madoff Family Foundation, a $19 million private foundation which he managed along with his wife. The foundation has contributed to many Jewish educational, cultural, and health charities. The various organizations were mostly given charity funds backed by Madoff securities.

The New York Post reported that before his arrest Madoff, himself Jewish and on the boards of directors of several prominent Jewish institutions, "worked the so-called 'Jewish circuit' of well-heeled Jews he met at country clubs on Long Island and in Palm Beach." The New York Times reported that Madoff courted many prominent Jewish executives and organizations among those investing in his funds — Jeffrey Katzenberg, Eliot Spitzer, Yeshiva University, the Elie Wiesel Foundation, and charities set up by the publisher Mortimer Zuckerman and Hollywood film director Steven Spielberg. Among one of the most prominent Jewish promoters was J. Ezra Merkin, whose fund Ascot Partners steered $1.8 billion USD towards Madoff's firm.

It's about time one of these filthy, despicable, disgusting Jew-donkeys victimized their own kind instead of only trying to hurt us goyim.

If your jewspiracy theories were true this man would still be sipping champagne in his ocean front property and his crimes would only appear in some troofer's web log. Amirite?

Obviously jews are treated no differently from other people and there is no conspiracy.

You're completely right. He's not a Jew conspirator, so he's sipping champagne in his penthouse apartment while the only people pissed at him are his actual investors, i.e. normal people don't care.

What? As far as I see, this is entirely consistent with RedCream's anti-Jew paranoia.

Guy steals from Jews -> Jews throw a hissy fit -> Guy is going to jail

I'm sure if he had stolen such sums of money from exclusively non-Jews, we wouldn't be hearing about this right now, at least according to RedCream, but I can't claim to speak for him.

My point is not that it proves him wrong, just that it doesn't prove him right.
Guy steals from normal gentiles -> gentiles throw a hissy fit -> Guy is going to jail

Why would a Jewish foundation have a Wall Street division?  Doesn't that just play into antisemitic stereotypes?

So you're only argument is "IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME YOU ARE A LEMMING".

Bernard Madoff's new Manhattan home is the size of a walk-in closet, with cinderblock walls, linoleum floors and a bunk bed. Breakfast will be served before sunrise, and the disgraced financier can stretch his legs outside, but only every other day — in a cage.

The Metropolitan Correctional Center, which has housed accused terrorists and reputed mobsters, welcomed the 70-year-old Madoff on Thursday after he pleaded guilty in one of Wall Street's biggest investment swindles and a judge revoked his bail.

The federal jail in lower Manhattan stands between a courthouse and a church and holds inmates awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Currently, about 750 men and women are behind bars there.

Since his arrest in December, Madoff has been confined to his $7 million penthouse apartment.

When inmates first arrive at the jail, they are given physical and psychological exams and instructed on the rules. If cleared to enter the general population, they are issued a baggy brown uniform and assigned to cells measuring 7 1/2-by-8 feet, each fitted with a sink and toilet.

Many inmates must share their cells with another prisoner, but it was not immediately clear Thursday whether Madoff would have a cellmate.

There's a strict schedule: Lights on at 6 a.m., breakfast at 6:30 a.m., lunch at 11 a.m., dinner at 5 p.m., lights out at 11 p.m. During the day, inmates can watch television, play ping pong, work on their cases in a legal library or volunteer for janitorial duty.

On alternate days, they are allowed up on the caged roof, where from courthouse windows they can be seen playing basketball. For court dates, they are shackled and escorted by deputy marshals through an underground tunnel.

The facility alots three hours a week for visits by family or lawyers. Inmates can also spend up to 300 minutes per month making phone calls, which can be monitored.

Those who misbehave or present a risk of violence are thrown into a separate unit where they spend nearly all day locked in their cells and must endure strip searches and constant monitoring by cameras.

Authorities tightened security in the unit after a guard was seriously injured in 2000 by a terrorist convicted in the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.

Notable inmates have included blind sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president, and John "Junior" Gotti, the Gambino crime family scion now jailed in Brooklyn on murder charges.

Current inmates include former Florida hedge fund manager Arthur Nadel, who is accused of bilking investors out of up to $350 million.
