David Weidner wishes Madoff victims would stop whining. So does Joe Nocera: "They were robbed, pure and simple, and the government is not in the business of reimbursing for robberies. Not even when the cops stumble across the robbers and then mistakenly let them go."

The Madoff victims are mad that with all the righteous regulations in place at the SEC, this scam has been undetected for 40 years.

This is where the peeve against the government is focused at.

The voices you hear are the same as Citi's victims AIG victims GM and dozens of other formerly "towers of safety" companies that let their stockholders down with unscrupulous behavior. The difference is that Madoff's victim have a face and a name to point at but corporate America has successfully shielded its perpetrators.

Does anyone else see the irony of the fleecing of America of 15 TRILLION Dollars by Corporacity complicity without criminal trials while a relative piker (Madoff) gets 150 years??? !!!
