Madoff’s Victims Are Close to Getting Their $19 Billion Back

I didn't know this, and I found it very interesting how they actually got the money back.

I wonder what happens at the Supreme Court? It’s gotta end up there, right?

It is an interesting proposition.

If you made a profit then you have to give it back so that someone who lost can get even.

One victim becomes a victim a second time so that someone else is less of a victim.

This is troubling for me...because I now have to come up with a better excuse. Relatives had been wondering what I had done with my money...and I had told them that I had given it to Madoff so he could invest it for me.

Now there's no excuse for the Wilpons to not spend money to rebuild the Mets. They can sign Harper and Muchado .

How altruistic of these attornies. Forfeiting their right to take their share of the recovered funds. It truly is Christmas time.
