How Many Madoff Red Flags Can You Count?

Not that I'm on the side of Madoff, but how do we know that any of the "investors" weren't in on the scheme with Madoff laundering the money for them and funneling the cold hard cash back to them, tax free? Maybe those organizations and investors were also on shaky financial ground and this was their "way out". Maybe the ones running these banks and organizations were good buddies with Madoff. Maybe good friend Madoff took the fall to save their hides knowing his life is almost over. (he's 70) Maybe he took the fall to just stay alive or even keep his family alive. You don't rip off that much money and stay alive, you just don't. That's another clue that the others were involved.

I find it hard to believe that all these billionaire financial-type people, organization and bank investors invested billions of dollars into one company that had only one actual auditor. Something stinks to high heaven here and it isn't just Madoff. I also believe that many in the SEC were paid off to look the other. It would be very easy to corrupt them when billions of dollars were involved. The government should look into their finances too, though I doubt it because they're pretty busy being involved in their own $700 billion dollar heist from the taxpayers to pay attention.

I think many of those people running all these collapsing banks and corporations have systematically been plundering these institutions for a long time and now that they are all getting caught the government is looking the other way, especially the federal law enforcement agencies who are supposed to be protecting us. They're in on it, too. Thieves and liars, the whole bunch of them.

Out of the tens upon tens of thousands of employees employed by the FBI, the SEC, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigative Division, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigative Division, Postal Inspection Service, Secret Service, Financial Crimes Enforcement Division, the Federal Trade Commission National Association of Securities Dealers and the myriad of other untold numbers of federal law enforcement agencies, nobody saw a thing, nothing. What a joke our law enforcement agencies are. Now you know where your tax dollars are going...besides in the pockets of the corrupt politicians, no where.

Oh yeah, Madoff operated alone, just like Lee Harvey Oswald. (wink-wink) LOL
