The Day in 100 Seconds: Small Solace

[LikableDesi]

where's the weatherman? lol

[jsalvo1]

oh no the yuppies lost their second houses and their hedge funds :(

[EndOfTimesApocalypse]

Obama's the Antichrist announced in the Il Lottery.

Joe Hamilton of Freising town, near Munich, Germany, made death threats against me, for spreading this.

[IndiMusicLover]

Jesus would be pro torture. He would also own a gun and support the bombing of Iraq. Jesus spoke to Mrs California and told her that altering the breasts god gave her would be biblically correct, he said it would be the Christian thing to do especially if she put her boobs to use by posing topless.

Jesus also said that "Abstinence only" works best for everyone except the Palin family. He said theres not much good lookin poon in Alaska so the Palin women are allowed to give it up.

[CAGamble]

Don't forget jesus would be anti-gay

[EndOfTimesApocalypse]

Joe Hamilton, Freising,

Germany, near Munich. He's also called LetsNotBeL7.

[Snowflake70]

Just deserts for him AND his investors - - playing with money like its Monopoly instead of working for it each and every day like us who exist from hand to mouth... we are the majority and we are the people and the government serves us - not the other way around. Think about it. The system was created by elected officials / politicians - not be people. By Monsters of greed. Not for wealth - but for power. And we all know about absolute power it corrupts absolutely. I could be wrong. NOT

[Shiftyeyes516]

greed + greed = more greed - people who invested with this piece of shit - were looking to make more money - they failed to ask the question of how do he do it - or they did not really care - as long as their profit/investment increased.- this is the risk you take with the greedy American finacial system.

Remember - Bernieis the one who got caught - I hope youdontthink he is the only one??????? Capilism at its best!

[luchamini]

I still don't get how you'd trust your money with a guy named Madoff. That would be like me trusting my bootiehole to a guy named Rapeass.

[Taino187]

Holy Cow!... Pitchman's Billy Mays is DEAD.

He died of a Heart Attack in his sleep!

Sheesh! Everyones dropping like Flies!

David Caradine

Ed McMann

Farra Fawcett

Micheal Jackson

Billy Mays

All dead In just a few weeks! Yikes!

[carrierexchange]

Oh no, so Obama is not the devil?

[mike50333]

Finally. Someone other than President Obama being called the devil. lol

[carrierexchange]

Yeah Obama is too nice to be the devil

[hossboss96]

k the guy took money. MONEY. thats it. i understand it means a lot to many people but for someone to wish that he would 'spend eternity in satans mouth' is going way over the top for someone who took money.

[charbroiledmonk1033]

theres taking "money" and then there is taking 65 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!! Thats peoples 401ks and shit. I hope he gets fucked in prison showers.

[hispanicarab]

peoples life savings. their entire lifes work gone to his greed.

[gomuti]

You cant move that much money and have nobody notice. Bernie is the tip of the iceburg. In a honest world we would see a line of poeple behind him ready to face the judge.

[gomuti]

When the institutions no longer bend to public will, they must be abolished. (by force if required)

[kevmo99]

Whatever happened to making money through hard work?

[charbroiledmonk1033]

bwahahahahaha

[MelanieLouM]

Baby...hard work is for suckers...just ask Bernie! >;)

[mike50333]

But it's so worth it in the long run! lol

[JustJobeMY]

Does he deserve his sentence for his crime? Probably.

Do the cheated people have the right to complain about lost investments? to the SEC? NO!

Complain instead about the state of your education folks, because, if you received a better one, its obvious you would not be falling for stupid schemes.

[blacknosugarnocream]

Too many of these victims do NOT want the system to be changed, they just want their money back. They want to be made financially whole again.

The problem is that the horribly flawed system allowed this to happen, but few people are interested in addressing that.

[ishmealm]

Some of these people deserve what they got.  Most people who invest and/or have amassed the fortunes that these people had know a little about money and they know that no one consistently gets the returns that he got and consistently beats the market year after year. It was their own greed that caused them to turn a blind eye to the obvious.

[squidb8]

The last person made the most sense, everyone else was just venting venom.

When the weasles raid the hen house who is more at fault, the weasles being true to their nature, or the farm hand that left the door open.

[Product1999]

It makes me giddy when White people steal from each other and ruin lives, while they paint black people as demonic.

[destructormc]

they didnt fail... he was just that good

[JamJells]

It goes far deeper and going on in smaller doses and shades. Follow the money and make the regulators do their job. If you invest not knowing what is going on. Then the risk is all yours if you loose your ass. Greed comes with a price somethings and its a two way street. You should have seen the Mac truck heading your way for some time now. That creep will pay for his crime, but not for all the damage he caused.

[vidann1]

Now that he's going to the pokey- let's go after his wife and sons. Hopefully he dies soon so the tax payers won't have to waste more money on keeping him.

[Mychaels]

Ya didn't they spend millions making golf courses. And all kinds of other crap. 150 years cannot make up for these peoples lives being destroyed. This is the tip of the iceberg. Christ we have to find a way to get these peoples money back. I especially hate it when people scam the elderly after they busted their asses to get what these jerks stole.

[Defucijus]

why u are angry on one man - i dont understand that. He just a patsy

[vidann1]

Since you do not live in the US you may not know that he stole money, the life savings of many people and his family lived off their money. HE was not a patsy.

[Defucijus]

yeah, ok. But HE wasnt alone...i gues there must be a lot of guilty ppl. I will never believe that he alone could pull this stuff. So in this way he is patsy(guilty patsy)

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

The woman @:40 is just stupid. Did she seriously not understand that people cheat and lie as often as they can?

[clinds]

No clips of the new msnbc in there? Quite the day though, quite the day.

[Snoopies622]

"He broke my spirit. I am no longer the same person... How am I ever going to trust anybody again?"

What are you, five years old?

[SamariaTV]

I see why he has no remorse, there are a bunch of folk involved. They are used to doing things like.

[sethcat99]

we trusted our govt, hu at least Bernard didn't fuck everyone all the time.

[aaronhallam61]

I wonder if someone is gonna have him shanked while he's in prison.

[Pigseye]

Where do they find these idiots?

[MelanieLouM]

There is one born every minute! ^_^

[Pigseye]

Ok, I'll bite. is every single one hired by and entertainment/news company?

150 years in prison for 71 year old Bernie Madoff. All he did was a $65 billion dollar fraud scheme that desimated thousands of people. He will be 221 when he gets out. Yea, right. I think I am of the 8% of the population that thinks a 20 year term would be enough.

[Pigseye]

This whole thing was about greed. Getting money for nothing. Where was common sense. Who said "if it sounds too good to be true; it is"

Anyone who uses a money manager is an idiot and I don't feel one bit sorry for them. If you don't know where your money is then you don't deserve to have any.

[Pigseye]

Now do you think that this incident has effected wall street in anyway? ABSOLUTELY NOT! No one on wall street thinks that they had anything to do with the crash. It is not my fault is the mantra. They are sitting there biding their time waiting to do it all over again and you are going to help them.

[Pigseye]

If you have a money manager, fire him right now! You don't need him and you never did. They sold you a bill of goods and you bought it.

If you are bright enough to build a building or read a map or work on a motorcycle don't tell me you aren't bright enough to manage your own money. If you want someone else to manage your money you are just too lazy to do it yourself.

[Skurgefaust]

haha he was smoking pot and lickin on titties

[ToManyPhones]

1:18 - Madoff is bad, Bush is still worse

[flowergirl1313]

When will people learn- Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If the had spread their money around, they might not have lost all their money

[Uwiluz60]

Flower...They will never learn...That's why crooks and fraud have been with us for thousands of years...When its sounds to good to be true ...IT IS ! And now we have the generation of crooks...The Baby boomers...No one is going to get you a 20% return or better...You have to do it yourself or be very lucky...If you bought Gold 4 years ago you were smart and lucky !

[JBeatty17]

To all of you high-minded idealists who are crucifying Madoff...What he did was wrong, no doubt about it. But I'm willing to bet my life that at least half the people on this board would do exactly what he did if they thought they could get away with it.

[Uwiluz60]

JBeatty17...You most likely are right...But not me...I have to live with myself 1st .

[JBeatty17]

I would like to think that I would not either. But I've never been in that situation, so I can't say. From here, I would never consider it. But once you are in the heat of the moment, it's a whole new ballgame...Or so they say.

[mike50333]

Can't deny that hon...

[sachaput]

Not all the people who invested with Madoff were greedy, but some of them obviously thought they were going to get away with something.

It's more the people who invested in funds that then went to Madoff to make a profit who have my sympathy. They are on the bottom and were deceived both by Madoff and their brokers.

[yanks1022]

Absolutely..Colleges, University's and Church's were all apart of this as well. NYU for example lost some millions of dollars to this. These weren't just people trying to make a killing

[toribaltimore]

So what!!! Now these people know I felt when I lost $140k during a weekend in Vegas. I can't stop laughing at the lady who said, "...how can I ever trust anyone, again?" Well, here's some advice for her:

If a guy ever says "let me just put the tip in," he's really trying to trick you into fucking him, you fucking dingbat.

LOL - Bernie looked at the court, shrugged his shoulders, and said "MY BAD." That's what you dumb, greedy, no-minimum-wage-raising motherfuckers get.

I'm rich bitch!!!

[OlivierdeAthos]

I'm not sure I agree with that part, but at least Madoff has served to explode that stupid conservative-sponsored myth that the wealthy are wealthy because they're SMARTER than the poor.

[cagedtigersteve]

This is nothing like the TRILLIONS Bush/Cheney have conned us out of.

[Product1999]

they were probably licking titties and smoking weed as well.

[HugeHeroesFan]

This was a waste of a segment. I've seen plenty of THE DAY IN 100 SECONDS. But obviously there isn't much going on except this guy who people call "the most hated guy". Who really cares? They gambled with their money giving it to the guy. You should never trust anyone.

[buffalosouljah18]

Topless women and weed? Pervert? These people are idiots.

''How can I trust anybody again?'' Welcome to life, idiot.

[marniespeaks]

one little problem - these people thought they were getting in on a exclusive deal- their greed wasn't much different than his

in their minds they let Madoff do the dirty work with no questions asked

if it's too good to be true...

Now the fact that the SEC allowed him to get away with it and the fact that the FEDS are doing the same to us we can't sit here now and say we didn't know

[WKaliberr]

he should have gotten the chair

[OlivierdeAthos]

Or, alternatively, the SEC could have just shut him down five years ago when Harry Markopolos sent them a memo entitled "The World's Largest Hedge Fund is a Fraud."

But then again, at that time the SEC was staffed with people from the Bush Administration who thought memos entitled "bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States" weren't all that important, so...

[MooseOfReason]

Olivier, Actually, Bush himself didn't think the "determined to attack" was important, but people in the administration tried to warn him about it. They weren't all evil, so that's not a fair comparison. Especially without any actual evidence.

[OlivierdeAthos]

Agreed.

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

Burnie fed off the greed of others. Sure he's a scumbag, but I have little sympathy for the greedy scammers that got ripped off by a better scammer.

[bleunt]

Madoff says - totally worth it.

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Most of the personal investors that got ripped off were unreasonably rich as it was. You can only gain so much money through exploitation before ignorance toward obvious violations becomes neglect and often intentional schemes.

[BigPurple121]

He better be sent to a "pound-me-in-the-ass prison" not one of those ones with a row team

[junkforkaryn]

as mama used to say "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is".....the returns should have alerted these greedy fucks to the scam. but it's only money--he could have killed his clients and still gotten the same sentence!

[Taino187]

Madoff is not the most hated American!

Bush and Cheney still hold the number one and two spot fors most hated Americans.

Madoff only screwed over some people, Bush/Cheney screwed over the whole country!

A Naton wide ponzi-scheme! Where is the Budget Surplus Bill Clinton left?!? Once Bush/Cheney entered the scene it vanished into thin air.

[spikesmth]

It's the SEC, Securities & Exchange Commission, and it's well known (if you saw Jim Cramer talk about his hedge fund days) that they are behind the game.

[Puabond]

Yes, in every way.

Fuck Cramer, slightly more than Madoff for pushing this system.

[mavaddat]

SEC, not FCC. FCC had nothing to do with this.

[nsleon22]

really? all that happened today was madoff? he was going to jail for life no matter how long the sentence was.

what about the coup in honduras? don't you think that's newsworthy tpm?

[toyracers]

....lets face it people, the man is 71, he lived most of his life as a millionaire or billionaire.. madoff is probably thinking- "it was worth it"... lmao

[glaked23]

I don't see what the big deal his sentence a 20 year sentence almost guarantees his death in prison. That aside there was quite a big going on today. Did anyone see that police chase in Dallas? That was pretty cool yet terrible at the same time. The firefighter thing also was pretty big news

[radudeATL]

Really, TJ Holmes?

"Let's get some flava now..."

@ 0:19

I feel badly for Madoff's victims.

[mike50333]

Was that TJ or Don Lemon?

[Defucijus]

ahhh that a SHOW :) i loled

[Richardgwm]

We need capital punishment for corporate crime.

This will continue to happen until we begin to execute these corporate thieves.

[glaked23]

I wouldn't go that far but no amount of jail time will ever make up for what he did to those people.

[zndprophet]

Sounds like they wish they could have beat Madoff half to death, dragged him through the street, while kicking him and spitting on him, and then set him on fire.

People are scum these days who don't care about much of anything-but two things they do care about is vindication, and money.

[TheDuckofLaw]

are you actually disparaging the victims? for being pissed that they lost their money?

[zndprophet]

No, I don't live in a black and white world.

Madoff was a fucking asshole! He was! He probably should have been beaten and dragged through the streets as a warning to all who would try what he tried.

I'm just saying-funny how outraged people can get over money issues-at one person like Madoff-and ignore that there are still thousands of Madoffs walking around and not only robbing people directly, but robbing people of an entire future, and until they are caught-they are "successful".

[TheDuckofLaw]

Ok, in that case, we agree. I didn't get that impression from the first message.

[zndprophet]

i just like to root against the underdog as well as the favorite. i'm weird.

[bobhardball]

Sending madoff to prison is NOT enough. People need their money back or at least some kind of financial support. That is common sense!!!

[gsuitter]

How about the Supreme Court overturning Sotomayor's fire fighter decision? Couldn't fit that in 100 seconds?

[TheDuckofLaw]

because it really doesn't matter - appellate decisions get overturned occasionally and it doesn't say a lot about the judge being overturned.

[Skurgefaust]

trust? taught? haha he was smoking pot and lickin on titties

[CGrunzdizshitz]

i seriously think that yes this guy deserves to be in jail but some of these people are being ridiculous with this trust crap and mouth of satan bullshit.

[shaven84]

He better get mostof that money back, bastard!
