    Madoff's offices were known as "The North Pole" due to excessive amounts of cocaine use there.

    The really fucked up thing is the Madoff looks GOOD next to the rest of these guys.


    After all, at least he admitted he was a crook, apologized (sorta) then took the rap without blaming anyone else.


    Stanford aside, that's more than anyone else here. I'm pretty sure the rest of these stains upon still think of themselves as 'the best and the brightest'.

    I just want to say, that I, a solid C- student at a state school, and a lazy, unsuccessful, former artist, saw this shit coming. You know how? I kept hearing on the radio in 2004, "bad credit? no credit? NO PROBLEM! We can secure a mortgage for UP TO A MILLION DOLLARS for your home or property, no money down, no collateral." WTF? no credit? bad credit? A MILLION DOLLARS? I thought to myself, "that doesn't really sound like a good idea.Lending a million dollars to someone with bad credit... OMG, I love this song..." Anyway - fucking pigs. Greenspan, and I'm writing in Gramm. And that annoying guy on that radio ad.

    How could you possibly put Thain over O'Neal? Is that just a tacit admission that you don't know your head from your ass, or do you honestly think Thain's noteworthy bonus fiasco was more important than O'Neal's 5 years of absentee risk management?
