To Madoff Victims: Mangia!

Every so often, along comes an artifact that perfectly expresses the character of our times. Sometimes, that artifact is a press release that arrives in my in-box. Today, it's a press release attempting to eke some cheap restaurant buzz out of the Bernie Madoff calamity. Hey, Elie Wiesel, bummer about losing your charity's assets and your personal savings in a Ponzi scheme. Would a free plate of penne alla vodka make it any better?

No matter how much of what you write in your blog may be compatible with my opinions, the main question I ask you as a result of reading it is.... how much willl you pay me to write your very-annoying-to-read blogs using correct spelling and sentence structure in the Queen's English? If you don't want to pay me, at the very least have someone else proofread and correct all your errors. By doing that you will surely connect with many more readers in the way you wish. This first bit of advice is free. The rest will cost you.

Victims are usually powerless to control their destiny, people that chose to invest with Madoff, chose unwisely, unfortunate, yes, victims, not.

People should diversify their wealth..that improves your chances several times over of getting hit by a scammer! If you just have one source of investment you might get missed.
