Who Gives a NSFW What Bernie Madoff Drove?
Bernie is the man behind a Ponzi scheme that suckered “investors” from around the world, from all walks of life, t o the tune of $50b. As is the way of such things, the media seems fascinated by relatively minor details. The fact that Madoff now shelters in a New York City penthouse– before he’s sent to The Big House– is only important on a symbolic level. Even if the digs were worth $50m (hardly likely in today’s market), that would be point one percent of the amount Bernie bilked. Now walk it down to his cars– which are leased. The autoblogosphere’s gossip girls are all a twitter (in some cases literally) at Bernie’s whips. Even The New York Times. “The vehicles include a 2007 Land Rover Range Rover, a 2008 Cadillac DTS, a 2009 Mercedes S550 leased last October, a 2007 Mercedes S550, a 2008 Mercedes GL450 sport-utility vehicle and a 2006 Lexus, according to the court filing in Manhattan on Wednesday.” The guy cleaning-up Bernie’s mess has asked federal bankruptcy court to cancel the leases. Big friggin’ deal. bernie could have bought GM with his ill-gotten gains. Which would have served him right, as far as I’m concerned.

Lets just hope his new temporary whip is a white bus with a short trip up the river.
Hanging is too dramatic and the Ivy League jerks would be unable to process it. Sentence them to Acura TLs. Satan, too, while we are at it - anything less than "Ferrari Cake" ('South Park' reference) is basically live burial.
I'm thinking he deserves something along the lines of salad t0$$1ng and the like, by a friendly prison gang. What a piece of work this guy is, can someone please give these people some justice, this is so retarded.
