It's really embarrassing for us Jews. The upside is that he screwed many people and 'charity' funds that Chaim ridiculed over the years (Like Steven Spielberg and Mort Zukerman).

Zelhar, I didn't know that he is Jewish as I posted this issue.
Now I know - I have looked it up on wikipedia.
But it is not so important I think at least, because I have thought not a second about his background. Then as I read your comment, I thought he has some attitudes like the people in North Italy, Austria and Hungary have.
So I didn#t think this will play in this case a role.

It's good you posted it although it was on T.V. all crooks must be pointed out
-
Yes this scumbag should be exposed for what he is. He sat in the board of YU and various other boards and this 'respectable' individual has been screwed his 'respectable' friends for years.

This is not good news:
“It’s all just one big lie.“
With those words Bernard Madoff confessed to senior executives of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities that the $17 billion hedge fund company he founded was nothing more than a Ponzi scheme.
According to Timeonline.com, Madoff is at the center of “the largest investor swindle ever blamed on a single individual.“
Madoff was arrested Thursday by Federal agents and charged with securities fraud. In its complaint the Securities and Exchange Commission said Madoff was at the head of an “ongoing $50 billion swindle.“ He could face 25 years in prison.
The news that broke today on the front pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reverberated in Jewish communities across the world.
“A lot of Jewish charities had investments with him,“ one prominent investor—who said he had no connection to Madoff—told The Jewish Journal. “So did a lot of Jews.“
The collapse of the Madoff business leaves a mess that is yet to be sorted out and whose victims are just coming to the fore.
But what’s already clear is that Madoff used his ties to the Jewish community to garner at least some of his ill-used funds.
Madoff is a trustee of the Yeshiva University and a long-time philanthropist in Jewish circles.
According to Yeshiva University, “Bernard L. Madoff, a member of the University’s Board of Trustees since 1996, was elected chairman of the Board of Directors of Sy Syms School of Business in 2000. Mr. Madoff is chairman of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, one of the nation’s largest third-market dealers in New York Stock Exchange and over-the-counter securities.
A benefactor of the University, Mr. Madoff recently made a major gift to the Sy Syms School.“
The first known charity victim, according to JTA, is the The Robert I. Lappin Foundation in Salem, Mass. which gave away about $1.5 million to Jewish causes.
After Madoff’s arrest, The Robert I. Lappin Foundation in Salem laid off all of its employees and locked its doors on Friday after its benefactor’s assets were frozen because they were invested with Madoff.
“Mr. Lappin investments were frozen,“ the foundation’s executive director of the foundation Deborah Coltin told JTA. “The assets are frozen. We have no money. The foundation cannot access its money.“
Lappin, who was reached by JTA Friday afternoon, said that he lost $8 million – the entirety of his foundation’s money – because it was invested with Madoff. Lappin, who had been involved financially with Madoff since 1991 also took a “significant” hit personally. He said that he knew nothing of Madoff’s fraudulent activities.
The foundation, which gave away about $1.5 million per year to Jewish causes, let go all of its workers, one fulltime employee and six part-time employees.
Much more on “Bernard Madoff and the Shame of the Jews“ at the Huffington Post. Count on many more disturbing developments in this story.
Remember the spike in anti-Semitism after the financial meltdown? This will be similar, but with the potential to be a lot more damaging because Madoff is actually being charged criminally. In the above article, Rob Eshman points to the comments left on the site dealbreaker.com, which identified some of Madoff’s investors.

Ughhh!!! I bet StørmFrønt is having a field day with this!! >:(
-
The very first thing it says in Wikipedia is that he is Jewish... under his profile. I just know that the sickos in StørmFrønt are using this as part of their stupid zionist banker crap.
People need to realize that he was nothing more than a self-loating Ultra-left winger... who stole from righteous causes.
UGHH!!!!
