Note to Bernie Mac on his upcoming existence in a moist, Oz-like scenario -- don't EVER accept a burger heated by a radiator, or "fruit cocktail sterno" fermented in the "lavatory," no matter how well-presented the offer. There is, as Milton friedman once noted so poignantly, no such thing as a free lunch. Finally, dear sweet lord, don't EVER -- EVER! -- accept "protection" from a larger, weightlifting afficionado, in exchange for "breaking him off a piece," once in a while.
Walk up to aggrieved inmate and say "Hey man, are we cool? Are we cool? You want some of my smokes? These aren't menthols, this is the good stuff, the good stuff sent by my cousin Ted, you know, the one with one good eye doin' life at Sing Sing? Man, are we cool now? You can have my blanket too, man, I know you're mattress is thin, this'll help you with your bad back, you know it will, and I can score an extra pillow for you too, man, and I'll give you my sloppy Joe next week, sound good?" right before sticking said aggrieved inmate with a shiv to the gut.
Are you telling me there is a chance Bernie will be raped in prison? I assumed these financial guys got set up in fancy prisons where the inmates were quite civil to each other. But this would be way better!
@czecher: Remember that line from Office Space? "White collar prison is no joke. One of my clients said on the first day you either kick someone's ass or become someone's bitch."
I love that the little girl in the bottom left photo is all "whoa, someone get this zombie bitch away from me, and feed her a cheeseburger while you're at it."
The SEC is so ridiculously understaffed (and, when staffed, generally staffed by those who should really recuse themselves from every case) that the fact that they knew about Madoff for 9 years and did nothing (no staff), and the fact his son-in-law was high up at the SEC (no will to pursue) = quel surprise. Seriously, they have like 1 person to do what 20 people would do in the private sector, and then that person who does the work for 20 is also a crook. Awesome.
