    That beach house should be signed over to Elie Weisel, considering what Madoff did to him. #berniemadoff

    Does the new Gawker have a way to fix all the ugly typos on the weekends? Only one L in marshal. #berniemadoff

    Well, the fact is, the house is on a primo piece of land in a primo area of Montauk. You can't beat that oceanfront. That's why someone paid $1M over the asking price. Had nothing to do with Madoff. I'm betting they will tear the house down and build something much better!! #berniemadoff

    Yeah, it has tear-down written all over it. Too little for such a great lot. #berniemadoff

    The notoriety of the famous monster drove up the price. #berniemadoff

    @RheaPollstry: Agreed. Nice lot, dumpy house. No way is it worth anywhere near the asking price.

    It looks like a Kansas house in the middle of Oz. What is with the grey?

    @Lizawithazee: Back in the day the grey was in. It looked new and I dunno, somewhat decent, but it weathers too easily. That's just my two cents.

    @Lizawithazee: Traditional shingle-style coloring. Blends in well with the ocean and the dunes. And weathers well. Sorta works for these beachfront houses. You see them all over the LI and the Cape. (And heck, lakes in the midwest too.)

    @Conchie Birdie: It's standard issue Hamptons grey wooden shingles. I think they pass them out to you while you're stuck in traffic on the highway.

    I wanted to break into this place when the news broke, but figured there were going to be too many feds there. Not to steal anything (well, depends), just as a sort of urban exploration. A few weeks later I read somewhere that people HAD broken into it. I wonder if insurance covered his losses?
