Speak Up
Was it enough?
For Madoff to say he was "deeply sorry" and "ashamed"?
Is that all we're going hear from this now admitted criminal?
No, not for me. For me, I want to know why. And not the usual reasons why. Greedy, sure. Arrogant, yes.
But beyond that, why did he systematically ruin thousands of people and charities and families? What was his reason? He knew exactly what he was doing but why?
What do you think?

That man is not sorry for what he done. What happen to the rest of his immediately family members they too should be investigated as well.

Why do people rob banks or commit murder? Some people abide by the laws and morals we set, others don't.
How is Madoff different than half the other greedy crooks at Lehman, Bear, Goldman etc. They turned Wall Street and the economy into their casino and parlayed too many bets at the expense of EVERY 401K and stockholder.
You will never convince me otherwise that Goldman Sachs being the largest oil commodities broker did not cause the huge oil run-up last summer. Great way to hedge off a loss from the derivatives.
Bottomline, it's not about Madoff or any other Wall Street exec., it's about the SEC and their total failure in overseeing that everyone play by the rules.
