Do I sound angry? Do I seem mad? Are my words sometimes too tough to handle?
Everyone who comments on the blog says that I’m an angry young man.
Well, I don’t mean to be. I’m just a guy trying to tell you like it is. I apologize for the tone. I apologize for being stern, but tough times call for tough love so deal with it and move on.
That being said, I am mad about one thing: Madoff
Let me tell you why. First a question: Is there anyone out there — besides me and a buddy who runs a $100 million fund of funds — who thinks this whole scenario is being manipulated by a master?
First it was the sons, then it was the jewelry, last week it was the checks, this week the bail hearings. Come on. He’s playing with us and with the powers-that-be. Everything he is doing, has done and will do is some sort of manipulation, scam or smokescreen. He conned people for more than twenty years, so he can’t be trusted now nor can those around him.
I for one don’t believe for one minute that his sons weren’t involved. I for one do not believe he mailed the jewelry without knowing he was going to get caught. I for one do not believe he left a bunch of checks worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $170 million just lying around in a desk. Come on people, we’re smarter then that.
Again, read my words: Everything he is doing is, in my opinion, part of a master manipulation, a smokescreen, a diversion; something to throw people off, get them confused and divert attention from figuring out what really happened or is happening with him, the money he scammed or with anything else.
This is a master manipulator who continues to manipulate and probably will do so forever. The problem is that the media seem to be falling for it. Maybe it isn’t so hard after all to understand how he was able to operate for so long without getting caught…
Separately, I’m happy to report that nothing else drove me crazy this week, so there’s nothing to report in that area…
This probably won’t happen again.
