Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

BBBY Earnings next week. Karl Icahn buys BBBY, merges it with his WestPoint company, carves out Buy Buy Baby to Ryan Cohen under Gmerica, and then...

 

@cartter469 has never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Everybody laugh at him

 

Freakiest thing in the whole doc...

 

Right? It's uncanny. My wife and I both laughed. lol

 

100% convinced Madoff was that woman and he's actually an ex-patriot living abroad

 

Yes, except there were accounts of them meeting together...SO...did he hire a woman who LOOKED like him become this "countess" and THEN later he could assume that identity to GTFO...

 

I mean, they literally faked DTC account transactions so I honestly wouldn't put anything by him lol. We got 4 hours of show to cover, what, 40 years? There was a LOT more going on behind the scenes

 

Yeah...and the number of people who didn't give a shit who were IN CHARGE who didn't care....Imagine trying to explain any of this to any 'normal people'

 

@TreeFortRichard @theesotericone another thing I thought was odd, is it didn't seem like any of his properties or houses were very "billionaire-ish" if that makes sense. Like he ran this giant scheme for decades and didn't buy any decent assets? $7m penthouse apartment in NY? Hedge fund poors have $7m penthouses in NY

 

One constant throughout history has been the giant bag of money for silence.

"He went to the SEC alone, carrying his own briefcase, which nobody of his stature did at the time"

Beause that briefcase was filled with fucking piles of cash...

 

He was more obsessed with maintaining the image of success rather than living it...he needed that $$$ for the next round.

 

Yah, I get that. I just can't see how someone becomes the father of the largest ponzi scheme in history (so far) and is still too dumb to secure assets on the side.

We're talking about, what, $65b at the peak, and this guy is running $300m in a checking account at JP Morgan? You can't be that successful AND that stupid.

Or maybe you can, which is why it happened.

I was rooting for whatshisface, pritzker? who was extorting him the whole time. Man figured out the scam and made more money off it than madoff

 

They guy who withdrew 8 BILLION over the life of the fund...just casually profit taking...

 

Decent work if you can get it. And all the original participants "died" well into their old age past the average life expectancy anyways.

Almost felt bad for the French guy, cause he knew he was dead, but nah.

 

Trying to figure out which ticker I can make a quick buck on from this.
