One Man Lost A$98 Billion.

How is this possible? Bernard L Madoff (notice the use of the middle initial - usually used when describing serial murderers) pleaded guilty this week of losing and defrauding folk of US$65 billion over decades. He admitted remorse over his actions, but I'd have preferred his jumping off a very tall building - so much more sincere. His pleading guilty removes any necessity to admit that others aided him in this gross act of deception, but hopefully those others will be brought to some sort of justice. He says he acted alone but I'm far from convinced. And to think he'd still be dealing this way had the crisis not loomed large. His only remorse is being caught out. Scum!
