Little Sympathy Among Madoff Investors

Bernard Madoff's victims got what they wanted to see, but not what they wanted to hear. Saying he was 'deeply sorry and ashamed,' Madoff pleaded guilty Thursday and will begin serving a sentence that could be up to 150 years in prison. (March 13)

preach on brotha! for fucks sake, hearing these people complain about being poor or wanting to commit suicide over money? give me a break, imagine what folks in south central LA are saying when they see shit like this "oooh i cant live anymore because im broke, im just going to kill myself" ........ i have no pity for people that risk losing their savings. its very easy, save your savings if you value it. risk things you dont care about.

If I ever make a cool million or 2, I won't invest it. I'll just put it in different banks at the FDIC maximum and live off the interest. I won't live big either. That's my motto "earn like a king, live in shit."

Moreover, God doesn't like ugly. Usually con-artists and crooks try to dupe one another. Madoff just seemed to be the smarter one, though what he did was wrong. Now this doesn't apply to all that loss their saving, BUT THINK ABOUT THE CROOKS WHO LOSS THEIR INVESTMENTS AND HOW THEY GOT RICH BY SWINDLING OTHER PEOPLE - THE POOR. WELL, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF SHALL I SAY?

Listen, I'm a black person who grew up in poverty in New York. Poverty is all I knew. My mother was on welfare, received food stamps and medicaid, but guess what? We were happy. We weren't happy because of the state that we were in. Sometimes having the riches of this world bring misery and pain. Just think about this for a moment. IDIOTS COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE THEY LOSS THEIR LIFE'S SAVINGS. Is it worth it?

@ixfxi well said. It is greed that brought them to this. Madoff was smarter than them although I disaprove of what he did. But somehow I like him making a fool out of these suckers. Hahaha.

MAKES ME WONDER:

How did the Madoff investors make their millions in the first place.

@ixfxi Lack of compassion is the problem with society today.

Your options become less and less in America as you mature in age. Who wants to start all over at the end of their life. You can never have enough saved for retirrment even when taking risk in the US. It's a sad reality.

There's always a reason or excuse for others misfortune until we find ourselves betrayed by the ones we trust. When it happens to us its a different story. That's when we expect the empathy we refuse to give.
