    I'm flummoxed. (And cowed.)

    Bad taste is usually associated with excess. Madoff managed to make restrained understatement look horrible. With all the money he stole, couldn't he and Ruthie afford to hire a Gay?

    And - the front of that spooky dump looks exactly like Bette Davis' house in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte".

    That was a particularly lovely opening sentence about the redoubt of the vile and petty rich. Scott Fitzgerald would've been proud.

    I once went to a thrift shop in Palm Beach, and they wouldn't let us in the door. We didn't look rich enough. But I didn't let that sour me to the extent that I didn't think they were worthy of having Bernie Madoff's investment skills working for them.

    @SultanaEleusis: You must mean The Church Mouse, the only thrift shop in Palm Beach proper. (They let me in the last time I was in PB to walk on the free public beach. I spent a total of 2 buck in town on an ice tea.)

    From now on, I request that all newspaper feature stories include an amateur behavioral economist popping out of an enclosed space and offering several paragraphs of analysis on the question at hand.

    @skahammer: It's not that hard to understand the psychology of truly, really, madly, deeply rich people. I studied these exotic animals for a project I was working on once and their idea is to lay low, say they're poor and quit buying any really obvious stuff for a while for protective camouflage. They know all about not unduly stirring up the rage of the peasants, having lost several generations of fortunes to revolts and guillotines and so forth already.
