Wiesel Foundation loses nearly everything in Madoff scheme

[Americanhero1]

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity lost more than 15 million dollars -- nearly all of its assets -- in the alleged fraud scheme run by Wall Street baron Bernard Madoff, the fund said Wednesday.

"We are writing to inform you that the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity had 15.2 million dollars under management with Bernard Madoff Investment Securities," said the foundation, which aims to combat anti-Semitism, on its website.

"This represented substantially all of the Foundation's assets," it said.

"We are deeply saddened and distressed that we, along with many others, have been the victims of what may be one of the largest investment frauds in history."

The statement added that the foundation "remains committed to carrying on the lifelong work of our founder, Elie Wiesel. We shall not be deterred from our mission to combat indifference, intolerance, and injustice around the world."

Wiesel, 80, a Nobel laureate and prolific author who survived the Holocaust, created the foundation some 20 years ago to foster international dialogue and youth programs to teach tolerance.

He is among dozens of wealthy Jews to have lost substantial amounts of money in Madoff's scheme.

Prosecutors say Madoff confessed to losing upwards of 50 billion dollars over years of running a pyramid scheme, where new investors were secretly fleeced to pay returns to earlier investors.

The 70-year-old former chairman of the Nasdaq stock market and a mainstay of the powerful American Jewish community is currently free on bail of 10 million dollars as police continue their probe.

Oprah Winfrey told a celebrity-filled audience of more than 800 people at the Waldorf Sunday night that her experience interviewing Nobel Peace laureate Elie Wiesel at Auschwitz last year for her television talk show was "transformative," and that her life was "changed by the silence" they experienced together in the Nazi death camp.

Winfrey received the Humanitarian Award of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for "her global humanitarian efforts and her dedication to children's welfare," according to the inscription on the tzedakah box she received.

Wiesel praised Winfrey for her "incredible talent for listening."

Anyone else reputable say anything nice about Wiesel? Orca is a mediawhore and nothing else imo.

[Zelhar]

I think He is known as "Elly the weasel" in JTF's past program. I thin his found 'fostering international dialog' etc is one big waste of many at best, I wish this type of fortunes were the only type  that Madoff has destroyed.

[Roadwarrior]

He should not have been let out on bail. 

[Dan]

Elie is a Weasel by all accounts...

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

That fossilized sack of (Juden)rat excrement should lose a heck of a lot more than 15 million dollars. Yimach schmo to the Serb-hating, Israel-hating weasel, Nellie. 

[Chaim Ben Pesach]

What wonderful news!

Elie the Weasel - who begged Bill Clinton to bomb the Serbs in order to protect Bosnian Muslim Nazis and Albanian Muslim Nazis - lost some of his money.

So far look at who has lost money:

*Barbara Streisand, whose son is "married" to another man, and who has raised tens of millions of dollars for the most vile Jew-hating leftwing Democrats (including Barack Hussein Obama and the Clintons).

*Steven Spielberg, who said that he considers himself to be a black man, who adopted two black children, who is intermarried, whose film "Munich" humanizes the PLO Muslim Nazi terrorist butchers, whose film on Moses turns Moses into an Egyptian black man, and who has raised tens of millions of dollars for Obama, the Clintons and all other leftist Jew-hating scum.

*Yeshiva University, the "religious" institution which honors its graduates such as Daniel Kurtzner (who is active with Peace Now and is a senior Obama adviser, and who said that tiny Israel must surrender even her capital city of Jerusalem), and Alan Dershowitz (who said that he would have represented Hitler and gotten him acquitted, and who has gotten many notorious murderers acquitted including O.J. Simpson). YU had special ceremonies honoring Kurtner and Dershowitz.

*UJA-Federation, one of the most vile self-hating organizations in Jewish history that is responsible for the assimilation and intermarriage of huge numbers of American Jews, not to mention the massive financial support which they provide to Arab Muslim Nazis in Israel and to black Jew-haters in the United States.

With a list like this, I can only say one thing:

GO MADOFF! YOU DID A GREAT JOB!

What happend in the last year was not normal.

First stroke the financial & real estate crises and what was left stole Madoff.

I agree that this is terrific news. Wiesel is a pure pro-Nazi scumbag. In 1993 he tried to make himself look like he was opposed to the late pro-Ustasha Croat president Franjo Tudjman by "refusing to shake his hand", when in reality Wiesel was supporting Croat Nazism and Bosnian & Albanian Islamofascism in ex-Yugoslavia all the way:

"Regarding the use of Yugoslavia as a standard of integrity, here is an interesting point. I have found that the Israelis who most strongly oppose Arafat and Co. are the ones most critical of US policy in Yugoslavia, whereas, from my own experience, Israelis who are sympathetic to the PLO are also sympathetic to the secessionist Serbophobes in Yugoslavia.

Along those lines, let us not forget that in attacking the Bosnian Serbs, Mr. Elie Wiesel and other well-known Jewish figures were apologizing for the Bosnian Islamic Fundamentalists, led by Alija Izetbegovic. Mr. Izetbegovic is on record stating that destroying Israel is the #1 moral issue in the world, and that any Jew who says Israel has a right to exist is the enemy.  This is the man for whom Wiesel was apologizing!"

Yesterday I sort of felt sorry for the guy that killed himself over his bad investments with Madoff I saw the article in the paper but never got a chance to read it and see what sort of person it was. It seemed like he was an innocent guy who though he was getting a good return for his clients and then could not face them with the bad news that they had been tricked. Chaim's list of losers however sort of bought some cheer to my morning. If there was ever a set of animals that deserved to loose big money it's them. One thing that spoils the picture a bit however is I heard that the people that lost money will be able to write it off as a loss on their income tax over the course of a some years. For people with high income this is not a bad thing. The person reporting the story said that the government will end up taking a big hit over the loss claims. So as we are seeing more and more hard working taxpayers are made to pay for for the sins of filthy animals like Madoff, the Weasel and company.

Chaim, please tell the forum about how Nellie survived the Shoah by becoming a Judenrat kapo who turned Jewish infants and children in to the SS.

[Rubystars]

She betrayed babies and children?   

[DownwithIslam]

Yeah, I saw a program on cnn nazi news about how elie the weasel was begging clinton to bomb the serbs. Unfortunately he only lost money not his head.

[JewishAmericanPatriot]

  Did they ENDORSE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?? What did they EXPECT.

EXACTLY. Were any truly rightwing Jewish groups affected? Or were they all leftist selfhating Obamazombies?

THEREFORE THIS WAS A VERY GOOD THING THAT HAPPENED! I just hope Ed Asner was another one that lost $$$.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

She betrayed babies and children?   

I strongly suspect that he did, and that that was how he survived the Nazis.

[Debbie Shafer]

Bernie Madoff had better watch his back, after what he has done to people, and charities as well.  This is one sad, greedy, messed up man!
