As part of their efforts to make the scale and scope of Bernie Madoff’s crimes clear to Judge Denny Chin in deciding the terms of his plea, confinement and eventual sentencing, the folks at the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York submitted emails from Madoff’s victims describing the injury they had suffered and the punishment they believed Madoff deserved.
When you read through the emails, though, you do sort of wonder what level of vetting was applied to these emails or who some of those people even are. And when you get to the email on page 36 you get the sense that the quality control on which emails they threw on the pile maybe wasn’t all that high.
Here’s the text of that email …

Subject: REPLY MEMy Name is Mr. [redacted] but my origin is from Republic of Congo. I have an inherited fund I want to invest in a business in your country with a help of a local. I don’t know about what business but I found it wise to invest the funds in your country with your collaboration with me.
I have a very good friend , who has a good sense of humor , who torments these Nigerian ( or wherever they are ) scammers with tales of ” Me and my family have placed a serious curse of hex on your family….. you will all die of the worse hemorrhoids … change your evil ways before it too late”
It seriously works to scare a number of them back to financial correctness
Then again how much different are they than the management and financiers of Wall Street
On top of that here you Soros …. share the wealth … Obama and yet his money is safely offshore escaping American taxation
All a bunch of crooks
Too funny.
Live long and prosper too my friend 😀
