Madoff Body Language

[secretaryandactress]

boxanova66, that was uncalled for

[buffett1000]

Madoff is just sitting there thinking "I DON'T BUY OR SELL A DAMN THING, I JUST ROB PETER TO PAUL PAUL LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

[commins100]

A Million Short, and A Million Long on the same stock,== Zero less the commission paid to the Broker/Trader. And while Bernie's Aid is talking absolute crap, Is Bernie wiping the white Stuff from his nose..... I hope Bernie brought K-Gel with him to the Pen....Bernie, If the soap drops, leave it there...

[hotguybmx760]

if I were Madoff, I would of gotten a face job, cash out a billion, bribe cuba, and moved in hahahahahaha

[radonlads]

Who the fuck are those clowns?

[7beers]

This video is gold: 1. Madoff's sudden silence, after blabbing non-stop for a good half-hour, is deafening. 2. As others point out, his body/hand/facial language says that something's simmering in that brain of his which is making him intensely uncomfortable.

[lilbromarky1]

@7beers Yea especially at the end. When the guy supposes a rush for the exits, thats when I think it started.

[boxanova66]

jew

[7beers]

@boxanova66 Yeah! Let's shove him in an oven! With all of the other Jews! Heil Hitler!!!

[theporksicle]

Maybe Madoff was considering an exit strategy, personally if I had been in his position I would have gambled whatever there was in the BLMIS account on something high risk but high return. What did he have to lose? Once the fraud was picked up on he knew he would never see the light of day again, if he had just taken those few billion he actually had (rather than the $60bn he claimed to have made by investing) and made a major, leveraged directional bet perhaps he would have won.

[mlawren7]

@theporksicle It doesn't work like that. He would have taken many high-risk bets on the road to such debt with the idea of balancing his positions, but once you are lying to yourself and your investors, it's extremely hard to get back on track.

[theporksicle]

@mlawren7

From what I've heard he hadn't made any trades, either on the exchanges or OTC trades, since at least 1993. It was just a case of money in, money out and so on.

What I meant was, if he had taken a big osition on say the general direction of the U.S. stock market he could probably have made a few billion over the course of a year. And he would have been at a big advantage in knowing where it was going due to his brokerage. He may have even survived the $7bn withdrawals requests.

[agolakchub]

"I wonder if they'll ever catch on..." 

[odmcarp]

he can't sit still....he's saying, these people are really fucking boring me, let me the hell out of here, i gutta take a piss. i have billions, i don't need to be here with these losers

[harshLesson]

i have 0 sympathy for the "victims" who are only now crying foul. where were they when they were receiving statements indicating that they were getting 20%-30% increases on their money. They must have known something shady was going on but since they were MAKING money, they didnt make a peep. Wasnt until they began losing money did you hear their crys.

[brandon420z1]

@harshLesson it is illegal what he did weather the investors were happy or sad is of no significance.

[gwangjuboy1]

Madoff was an industrial psychopath

[rolobe]

Madoff is a hero! The american capitalist society is growing guys like this every day and ones they become to powerful they kill them, remember Michael Milken?! Sick world!

[doublemandala]

Looks like his son got popped..

[kiratisdale]

@doublemandala thank god. i hope his entire family is soon to follow, grandchildren included....but spare the dog

[2550505]

Hmmm. Don't invest if you don't know what they are selling.

[meis]

i think he is bore

[Stanwoody]

I don't see any telling body language. It is easy to think you see something after the fact, but I don't think their was anything to catch here. He looks like someone listening to something he knows or has heard before. The lip rubbing could be from distracted thoughts about something else, while he waits the speaker out. I see no telling body language here. Sorry.

[AngryLlamaz]

@Stanwoody

exactly, distracting thoughts of the market sinking of investors heading for the exit all at the same time.. something that would have totally ruined Madoff's scheme.

[leolotus8]

@Stanwoody : Studies have shown that when a person is withholding information they usually cover their mouth. Also notice when he rubs his neck in discomfort. As for the man that is doing all of the speaking, he certainly did not sound confident in his answers.

[NoGoodThingEverDies]

there is an old saying about the jews.

"When they are speaking, they are lying. When they are silent, they are stealing."

[Polyfusia]

It almost looks like Madoff is feeling *bad* here. As in guilty about what he'd done

Surprising.

[Alienated29]

mADOLFf mwahahahahaaha

[cuddleyduddley]

I just can't believe what a friggin' liar Bernie Madoff is-- I worked in the investment industry for 18 years, and I'd have never imagined something like this happen. The SEC should be sued for oversight of this maniac!

[campbpar]

actually that neck scratch was prolly an actual reference to his impending arrest.

[AngryLlamaz]

anyone notice that morbidly obese fat guy in the back right at the start? ha

[junkevin]

lol he's like "I want to play wow"

[guslingus]

Fuck jews

[JHOffSuit]

poor sap working for madoff is probably out of a job and probably homeless.

[idster7]

you think he didn't know?

[robertstolte]

why didn't madoff build a space ship to escape the FBI haha

[FreemanZee]

Because It's cheaper and easier to buy them off.

[mlawren7]

@robertstolte And where does a space ship take you?

[Gedankenbaukunst]

@mlawren7 to Isreal

[TheCamperz]

There's an age-old saying about jews that sums it perfectly regarding all of the money-grabbers such as the Madoff family, Lou Pearlman, Reed Slatkin and countless other jews.

"When they are speaking, they are lying. When they are silent, they are stealing."

[gone2pot]

ManyStrong(?)Points-I love seeing the small minded use the thoughts of others to try to get their own points across. You're quite the leader.

[hume12345]

bernie madoff is the american dream.

[tubub]

@hume12345

Wtf are you talking about? The American dream is about a hard work ethic, not swindling other peoples money.

[hume12345]

@tubub the american dream relies on swindling someone out of something.

ask an iraqi if you doubt me.

[tubub]

@hume12345

Why would I ask an Iraqi what the American dream was? That's unbelievably retarded, even though I'm sure you meant it as a sly remark.

[hume12345]

@tubub it's amazing what you can't do when you can't read and write.

[tubub]

@hume12345

One of the most basic tenets of writing: Don't use double negatives in sentences. I still don't know what you're trying to say, but I don't agree with your premise anyway so do I really care what you're trying to say? No... not really.

[hume12345]

@tubub you don't care for what i'm saying, but still you write to say you don't care?

interesting....

[tubub]

@hume12345

I'm happy you think common courtesy is interesting. I wish you were as interested in English grammar and writing skills, then maybe I could understand what you are trying to say.

[hume12345]

@tubub you weren't showing any 'common courtsey' when you ignored the premise of my initial response to you. feigning ignorance in a debate is the lowest form of demeanour.

[tubub]

@hume12345

Ignored what premise? You equate a con man with the American Dream then went on to say "the american dream relies on swindling someone out of something."

You're a waste of time.

[hume12345]

@tubub the us government operates an international ponzi scheme.

bernie madoff's scheme was private (yet international in scope).

both are crooks yet only one pays for his deeds.

bernie madoff lived the american dream, to suggest otherwise smack of rancor.

[DG3744]

@hume12345 Damn Fucken STR8!!! Say it again 10X!!!!!!!!!

[DG3744]

@hume12345  AMEN!!

[theycallmefibb]

@hume12345 After years of fraud, Bernie Madoff's dream was to have his luxurious life without the inevitable consequences of criminality. /That/ is the American dream: Fair success. Pull your head out of your fucking ass.

[BigGhommie]

Fuck him!!! Fuck Wall Street!

[charminglayla]

it seems like the blonde lady behind madoff is his wife...i belive in bad karma, she and her sons will get it as well....

[poparozi]

Question: If you were in your 40s and you knew there was a illegal business that you could get involved with that would definately make you and others well over 60 Billion dollars for the next 30 to 40 years, would you do it?

the catch is you would get caught in your late 70s and would have to spend the rest of your life in prison..

[TheSmoonge]

poparozi, you are just speculating... how do you know those people knew about the scheme? I'm talking about the thousands of people that didn't know and lost their savings. Think about it, do you think a guy who was deliberately pulling a scheme with thousands of people's money would risk getting caught by letting them in on the scheme? Highly unlikely since he knew there was a high chance of one of them squealing.

[poparozi]

I may be speculating or not. But let me speculate even more by saying that not only did alot of the investors know with the exception of many at the bottom of the pyrimid, they proceeded on investing with the cocky belief that "hey its the American way we're rich and thats just the way it is. Also the SEC was informed many times over the years of Madoffs company which leads me to believe that everyone was in his pocket from the SEC,Wall Street, to US Government and other Governments as well

[goma3]

This is why Madoff did it. He liked being the cool guy that everybody thinks "Madoff is the man". He liked giving those quirks and saying "hey you need to do this and that, bla bla". He liked being admired.

[DylanSensFan]

Here I am, hoping that a graphic design job will show up, so that I can go to work for what I'm educated. Meanwhile making pittance compared to these corrupt, rat bastards, who some how make $50billion dollars disappear.

This piece of shit should be a jail bitch. Greedy fucking pigs!!!

[PopeyeCove]

Yeah... way to say it. Personally, I'd like to see them release Bernie into a spacious locked room full of his victims... and then just see what happens. My guess is it wouldn't be pretty.

Old school justice... not modern ju$tice.

[captainshifty]

A graphic design job? this is a fake job...the reality is that such an employment position is subsidised by the third world, by iraqi oil, by China's lending, etc. you're a lucky fucker for living somewhere that teaches graphic design, nevermind somewhere that employs graphic designers. The US government deregulated the banking industry. They are the enablers. The people elected them and didnt put up a fight when the elections got rigged.

[moremoney20072000]

Bernie "made off" with millions. How can i person, 1 account somewhere oversees get away with this for years. Just goes to show how accountable wall street is.

[poparozi]

But People, This is called "BIG BUSINESS" This is what makes economies. As far as Im concerned where Madoff went wrong was the collapse of the GLOBAL ECONOMY. Every one was in on the scheme. Marcoplos was'nt the only one who knew his dirt. I'd bet over 50% of investors who had a steak in his firm knew. He's a fallen global financial hero...

[TheSmoonge]

poparozi, are you insane? a global financial hero? FUCK YOU and your evil "hero" who wiped out people's finances and made 2 people kill themselves because of his greed. Guess it goes to show you how fucked up people are when they actually call this criminal a hero.

[poparozi]

Im not insane and I do think Madoff is a "fallen" financial hero.

Most of the investors knew what he was up to. They played and won then lost. So now that they're out of cash, That makes him greedy? thats like playing at a slot machine in Vegas then winning and finally losing then going to the managment to complain. Im not saying what he did was right nor wrong, He was in a risky business that he knew would come to an end sooner or later.

[Dave985033]

I admire this man. Let the poor guy go, please. thank you.

[ameshkin69]

are you a MORON?

[ameshkin69]

what irks me is that he started this business when he was 22. Without his scam, he and his family would be poor white trash in brooklyn somewhere.

two people have killed themselves because of this piece of shit. Billions lost. They don't care. She doesn't deserve a normal life.

[greekmd]

Look carefully: you are watching a crime being committed. No different than a video of a murder or rape taking place. This scumbag has no remorse, except that he was caught.

[nanswede]

I just don't see all the charisma this guy is supposed to have. He's not even good looking...sort of chubby and I just find this amazing he took so many people into this fraud. He wouldn't impress me in any way!

[IFlick]

It wasn't charisma, it was the return they recieved on their investment. It was difficult to get in and once in, it was considered a privilage. Few actually met Bernie, he operated on his reputation as and earner.

[Ytuberx1]

Bernie almost "madoff" with the money, but they snagged his greedy ass.

[ameshkin69]

But his sons and wife are set for life. Justice has not prevailed until they are ALL in the poor house.

Madoff started his scan when he was 22. The jobs, the money his sons have made from the business theyc reated, and all of his properties came froM STOLEN money.

And then need to be returned.

[todnyc]

well, that's capitalism. and i don't know how great their lives will actually be, with the all the notoriety now. his wife is on the cover of today's NYPost being mobbed by paprazzi as she tries to buy groceries by herself

[Johnhighfive]

YEAH; Madoff goes today to prison until jury releases the final sentence ... it seems that 150 years will be endorsed to this maggot. ... Stanford YOU are next..

[U8ntshiet]

look how madoff "sinks" into his seat in the final seconds of that clip. How could the audience and moderator not sense the bullshit?

[jorge10928]

this fucking asshole deserves to die.. 150 years in prison is not enough for this asshole.... i hate this man so much.. there are just no words to express my feelings... and yes, if i were him i would be wearing that bullet proof vest he walks around with...... i hate him!

[MattFoleyMotivation]

I still don't understand why with all that money Madoff didn't make a run for it like Marc Rich. Why is he willing to spend the rest of his life in prison when he could have escaped and took lots of money with him?

[dwinslow1245]

There is no Justice America, this maggot is going to get off with a slap on the wrist While the SEC fines him (Thier Cut) and all of his investors take it in the ass. This fucking piece of shit needs to be shot.

[Gruntol5]

Put Madoff and family to work in a pork processing plant. Pay them in bacon rashers. Make them live on a diet of pork only. At night they get to sleep in a pigstye. Continue until death.

It's time to start organizing protest marchs in every major city in the USA against those that have looted and connived in the looting of the USA.

[jesusisascam1967]

I am saddened to have learned that a british soldier killed himself because of Madoff-a jew nontheless

[SweetTony12345]

we all should. I don't see why we don't all just protest this disgusting display of ruthlessness for the greater portion of the population that gets pampered by a government that is supposed to protect us, all the while they allow business like this to help burden our economy. These people deserve nothing.

[Fitplayer66]

In other terms: Prison.

[fenderic]

Honestly I don't see why anyone would had invested with him based on what I've seen on the full video.  I mean, his investors must not have known a thing about finance to believe the answers coming out of these guys' mouths. That was one of the longest bullshitting sessions I've ever seen!!

[ernieernie]

ha ha ha Madoff "Made-off " with Billions...he must be hung, drawn and quartered.

[artyphax]

The Madoff scam happened because of Jewish incest. They thought he was one of them and wouldn't possibly rip them off -- Wrong. Immorality toward outsiders eventually leads to immorality toward your own. That is why Israel will fail due to the suffering the Jews have visited on the Palestinians.

[Kroger43]

High-income Americans are made victims as easily as crack addicts.

[dragonlaughing]

I watch Madoff's associates. Did they know? Look at their body language. They look distressed. They look like victims of a psychopath. Which in a way they are. A psychopath like Madoff gets his kicks from dragging other people into his scams. But no moral points for the associates. They stuck around and took the money.

[ohmybentley]

look at these fools.

[TomBoston191]

Pretty amazing stuff.

Somehow, $50 Billion ended up in the hands of a man named "Made-Off".

Maybe it's just 20/20 hindsight, but he really does look like a charlatan in every video I've seen of him live. But the man definitely has a sense of humor. He named his yacht "Bull", which is probably a typical name used by people in the market. He also liked to collect bulls of every sort: sculpture, paintings etc...

Now we know what "Bull" meant to Bernie:

It was just short for BS.

[Siderata60]

Pinches judios rateros

[martae1]

Looks like he has to pee.

[khunopie]

There's a rumor on Wallstreet now that Madoff is running a ponzi... stay tuned..

[zweio112233]

hahahahahahahahahaha, really ? no shit ? :D

[wdai03]

where were you for the past few weeks?

[DaveWhiteInYoFace]

You think?

[wdai03]

You're a idiot

[khunopie]

You should say: "You're AN idiot" use AN before vowels... use A before consonants

[maxymyllyon]

he's from china, they have a different language there i believe.

[johnsmdm]

"his ilk", you see that's code for jews sir and that hurts me very much..do you bastards have proof that all jews were involved hunh, answer us now!

[Yourdeadmeat69]

Madoff is thinking "I didn't diversify, I lost it all, I paid off today's investors with tomorrow's proceeds, gee I hope I can pull this off another 100 years, after all, social security does the same thing..."

His yellow brick ROAD is the psycho-PATH which makes the X-File warning "Trust NO ONE" the greatest statement of this generation.

[johnsmdm]

you antisemite bastards!

[NarMeOrMore]

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The corruption could possibly be a lot deeper. Madoff is simply the first one in a long line of people with connected interests. Others will soon fall and the truth will eventually come out in this increasingly transparent world we live in. Moral of the story: Be honest and tell the truth, because sooner or later your schemes will come undone.

[oldjoe5]

Why aren't you instead mad at Madoff and his ilk?

[MattFoleyMotivation]

This is guy stole from fellow Jews who trusted him and used the proceeds to disparage Christians and stop Jews from marrying non-Jews. This guy is a racist and should be treated as such.

[dinfg6]

This Happens in my ethnic group too. As a Filipino-American I see Filipino Financial experts and Government officials from Manila committing Ponzi Schemes on innocent Filipino Immigrants

. These financial experts and Government officials in Manila convince them they can invest in real estate in the Philippines. But in reality these people are paying for a Ponzi where experts and officials are hiding the money in secret bank accounts in China and on Wall Street.

[licebaby]

so telling he is embarrassed, uncomfortable, and wants to get the Hell out of there, I bet he doesn't understand basic investing, just a conniving no good jew

[ianclivewright]

Obviously in the pop psychology world of body language rubbing your lip, touching your neck, and looking at your watch means you're $50,000,00 in debt.

Shame they kept quiet about this before the fraud was discovered, we could have done with the insight.

[neve1073]

I guess this might be interesting to students of body language.

[ObsessiveDetailer]

Madoff Investors May Be Protected By Government

Judge Says Those Duped Need Aid Under The Securites Investor Protection Act

meanwhile ordinary people are losing jobs and being evicted en masse

[VeiledHeathen]

I think the government should help. I'd rather they bail out people who have been wronged by a criminal act, than anyone else, really. This is really going to hurt international trust in America as a safe place to invest, too.

[boogle362]

most of the money in madoff's fund came from "professional" investment banks and funds. are you telling me they were not smart enough to recognize a ponzi scheme over a 20 year period? something stinks here. if his fund had simply failed no one would be able to recover anything from the government. if he admits to fraud then ...well...we'll see.

[HihiHihru]

I'm just worried about international investors who got duped & the not for profits that got screwed. it was the government's responsibility to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen.

He's already pretty much admitted to fraud (to his sons) and you can take comfort that he'll probably spend his last few years penniless and in jail. honestly, I'd guess that he opts for suicide.
