The writing of the post from which I extracted the sentence above was so unclear I couldn't tell what the poster was trying to say half the time. So which rich people are you referring to exactly, who lost their money? Do you mean Madoff and his sons? Do you mean the people who invested with Madoff? If so, how do you know that all his investors were rich? And even if they were, why would you be glad they lost their money? Are poor judgment and naiveté (i.e., investing with Madoff) such terrible sins that we should be happy about the punishment that resulted from them? I don't get it.

Yeah, I don't know what makes one "glad": the money they lost didn't go into your pocket...

What is the point of this thread and why is this in the investing board??

Take your drivel to the politics and other controversies, people. Nobody wants this sort of stuff on this board. If you are not talking about tickers or investments, then please don't spam this board
