octavian said: "Personally, I don't feel any more sorry for Madoff's "victims" than I do for those who poured 1/3 (or more) of their portfolios into the QQQs on Brinker's recommendation. Greedy people sometimes get sheared." What about Mort Zuckerman? He was like the poor folks who invested in the BJ Group. He gave his money to a fund manager and the guy placed it all with Madoff. The people in the BJ Group gave their money to Brinker and he put them in the QQQ's.

--Hi queen! Great to see you back. We (some of us, anyway) have missed you! Thanks, dija! As for Madoff, I can't say I know a lot about him it or his victims. Sounds like he fooled an awful lot of people out of an awful lot of money. Brinker can't possibly hold a candle to Madoff, even if everything honey ever said about Brinker for years was true, which it never was. I was just noting how strange it seems to me that honey seems so self-righteously offended at Brinker's calling Madoff "Mad Dog" when she has so frequently hurled similar epithets Brinker's way for years. Does it seem to you that she is actually denying doing so now?
