Money Maker or Money…faker?

Bernard Madoff, 71, received a 150-year sentence to prison yesterday after being charged for massive fraud. It had been suspected that he had defrauded investors of nearly $13.2 billion.

Some of his clients committed suicide after discovering they had lost everything. It amazes me today how much we are influenced by money and how trusting we can sometimes be. How did Madoff manage to hide that much money away from his clients? Why do we rely so much on non-visable cash such as debit, credit cards, stock, etc? Why do we trust people with something that will determine our lives? Someone who handles your money but you don’t know who they really are.

So what did you spend it on Bernie? How could you be so selfish? People trusted you and you hurt them in the worst way possible…non-physically of course (because according to Perez Hilton that is NOT OKAY!)

Obviously, he’s not gonna live 150 more years, but he ruined a lot of peoples’ lives.
