Convicted Wall Street fraud Bernard Madoff is dying of cancer, media reports said Monday.
Just like the ex Enron head that had the 'heart' attack...ha ha

Put all the blame on one guy then fake his death, give him a new face, and off to paradise they go.

What a great scam.

I'm sure he knew he had cancer and that's why he claimed to have perpetrated the crime alone. No effing way no one at the organization didn't know or wasn't party to the fraud.

Yeah, it's pretty lame.

And offering no plausable explanation as to why Maddoff would be fake-dead and living in paradise. Who would make this happen and why?

I might fake my death if I meant I got to go live in paradise.

What a great scam.
1. What about Global Crossings, WorldCom, HealthSouth? Where are the suspicious deaths on these well-publicized financial scandals? Heck, some scapegoating and suspicious deaths at Blackwater and the Justice Department could make some thorny problems go away for the government as well. And yet they haven't happened.

2. IANAFSA, but I guess the cancer and/or mortality rates for people the age of Bernie Madoff are higher than average. Same for Ken Lay at his age of death.

This is how the shell game works...steal hundreds of billions w/ a front company posing as a real investment opp. (just like enron), the scam runs its course (just like enron), you have one person fall on the sword (just like enron), and they are 'dead' in less than a year (just like enron).

The faked death thing is my theory...why else would he put himself through all of this. Why was this cancer not brought out earlier?

Too many coincidence...I forget you jacksheepleasses believer EVERYTHING is a coincidence...my bad stupideverythingisacoincidencejacksheepleasses.

Why cancer? Wouldn't it have been quicker and easier to go the Jack Ruby route?
