I'm glad that Bernie Madoff will have to live the rest of his life in prison knowing that he is personally responsible for the suicide of his son.

Poor little (criminally) rich kid couldn't hack being broke huh? So what.

The Madoff family ruined many lives. No sympathy here.

I understand this was the son (Mark) that uncovered his fathers scheme and reported him to the authorities.

Sure he commited suicide..........

It's very sad; any who celebrate it or take satisfaction, need to check their moral compass.

I really don't know anything about the son. I certainly don't hold one accountable for the sins of a parent.
Too many times I see children of polititians get bashed just because of parents, like C Clinton or B. Palin, I am not
into that, left wing or right wing, doesn't matter, I just don't care for it.

CABIN4. Yes, thats what the news said. Sounds like the son had a conscience and a good understanding of right and wrong, something his father lacked. POWDERMAN.

Perhaps the police should take a good hard look into the 2 year old!

TM7, Don't put anymore effort into this thread. I'd prefer to see you answer the question I left on the class warfare thread.....

billy_56081 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2010, 08:58:36 AM »

Cabin, heck you know what old TM's answer will be. He only has one, and he is going to kick off his comedy tour with it at my BBQ.

Cabin4 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2010, 10:08:27 AM »

No, I just don't really care enough to get into that. As I said, I would prefer you respond to posts that mean something and actually have a real impact on you, others & me. Look at the Class Warfare thread.

billy_56081 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2010, 12:43:10 PM »

That sounds like a good time TM.

powderman · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2010, 03:42:17 PM »

BILLY. Looks like you just got an invite from all the tms to go on a cruise with them. There have been at least 2 tms on this thread, maybe a 3rd, hard to tell sometimes. POWDERMAN.

Well,,,,I'll tell you what big guy. I don't much care what you 'care' about all the time... How about I be in charge of the posts I write, when and where ever I write them and when I feel like it.!! And you be in charge of yours...sounds pretty fair and square to me....

So with your permission, perhaps we can get back to the Madoff's son post at hand...

Madoff was a pig and so is anyone else that was involved and knew.

Thanks for responding to the other thread!

Who is celebrating?

But still a wealthy man. Hanging? ...no note?...suicide, huh !? Okay.... $:-\$

..TM7

The radio said he sent an e-mail to his wife before he commited suicide

powderman · « **Reply #17 on:** December 13, 2010, 04:46:09 AM »

Leaving no suicide note means absolutely nothing. I know of at least 4 or 5 I've known personally who never left a note.
It's entirely possible that bernies son felt guilty in turning in his father and had been eating away at him for quite some time, don't know. POWDERMAN.

That I must agree with. Some people leave notes, some don't. Some people kill themselves on a whim. I knew a guy personally who had drank a little one night. His girlfriend had recently left him, but he *seemed* to be taking it ok. Bogged his truck down in the middle of the woods (literally miles from any house). Called a friend to help him pull the truck out. When the friend arrived the truck was indeed bogged down, and the guy had already shot himself in head. No note or anything, just blew his head off on a whim.

Bad stuff happens in the world. There's not always some conspiracy behind it. Occam's Razor and all that. 99% of what happens will be simple, unelaborate, boring stuff where the obvious explanation is the right one.

Being in the line of work that I am I have been first on the scene of more than a few suicides and I cant recall ever finding a note on or near the body although looking for a note was never my primary concern.

Shucks, Lakota, I didn't realize you were an IRS agent.

1marty · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:54:25 PM »

I don't feel sorry for the family. Not one of them ever had a word of remorse for Bernie's victims. All they cared about was trying to protect the money which Bernie stole.

wreckhog · « **Reply #22 on:** December 14, 2010, 03:00:51 AM »

It is interesting that no one has claimed the body yet. Big deal if you are a Jew. I wonder if anyone is even going to his funeral. Seems like his wife hated him. Dad too.

Mauser · « **Reply #23 on:** December 14, 2010, 03:57:07 AM »

The whole story is symptomatic of our times. Bernie Madoff is an evil man and deserves everything he has coming. Problem is there are a lot of Madoff's out there in this country in every walk of life. Makes me wonder if we are living through the last days of Rome.?
