Bernie's Hannakuh gifts...
Watches, heirlooms, and a single piece of jewelry worth over one million dollars...

...and the POS is still walking around in his $9 million dollar penthouse -- out on bond!?!
What do you think would happen to say... an auto mechanic, who under a similar asset seizure action from the government, gets caught trying sneak his Snap On Tool collection out the back door to his friends, or family?
Do you think that schmuck would still be out on bail?
Or, slammed faced down into the pavement by MP-5 toting jack-booted Swat Team thugs, and then perp walked in handcuffs to the local jail?
Yes indeed, the rich are different... especially when they are part of the bankster-gangster elite.
And did you see the CNBC piece last night with the former SEC investigator who basically crucified Bernie Madoff's close personal friend and associate, former SEC Commissioner Arthur Levitt - saying Levitt routinely told him, and other investigators "to not look too closely under the hood"?
(remember the CNBC video clip, of Madoff bragging about his close relationship with the SEC - Levitt's SEC?)
This same SEC investigator said he also tried to get Levitt to crack down on the derivatives scheme years ago, and just as he was about to explain to a nationwide audience what a complete and total #%$&'n farce the SEC is, and Levitt was, he got "talked over" and cut off by the CNBC anchors.
And then there's Ezra Merkin... Chairman of GMAC, and recent recipient of billions of your tax payer dollars...
And what a mensch ole' Ezra is...
After skimming enormous fee's off the top for simply taking NYU's check and then handing it over to his pal Bernie, and putting ALL of NYU's funds into Bernie's Ponzi Scheme, this shmendrik is now offering to return his "fee's" to NYU, but !... "minus his costs and expenses" ... because, oy vey! there's always those costs and expenses...
...like the now $2.5 Trillion Dollars these bastards have sucked out of Main Streets pockets in the larger Ponzi Scheme that makes Madoff's swindle look like small change.
If they can keep Madoff's chump change swindle in the headlines, maybe, just maybe... you'll stop paying attention to the wizzard behind the curtain who's stealing trillions, not billions.
