Bernie Madoff...Why he did what he did

Quote from telozo:

Before going too deep into the sociopath thing, think about where all that money that's gone missing went. Finding the answer would shed some light on his behavior.

Great point. I agree
 
Quote from promagma:

How could he not got to jail?
Is there any doubt that he is guilty?

He has admitted guilt.

However, he serves a better purpose for justice out of prison currently.

The sexual sociopath, the crime is always sexual, the motive is not about sex. Same with Madoff, assuming the motive is money, it is not correct.

And what would that purpose be?

He's not helping the government find the lost/stolen funds.

Why isn't he locked up?
 
There are thousands upon thousands of mutual funds that receive billions in investor funds and most just get market returns. So if you have the connections the billions are there. He was the chairman of the nasdaq (that's another issue) and had extensive connects to the money world of wallstreet and the jewish community. He didn't need to fabricate returns. People will line up for 15% returns.


Quote from Kassz007:

If he only made a simple market return he would not have got the billions in the first place. Those billions of dollars would be in the hands of someone who can offer better than average returns.

How do you know what he is doing?

:confused:

There is way more to this picture than meets the eye, obviously.

Madoff is probably just the tip of the iceberg of financial crime in the USA

Maybe it's time to have a spring clean ?
 
One way to understand Madoff
read King, Warrior, Magician, Lover
by Robert Moore.


It is full of insights on the male
energies that drove him to pull this
rouse.
 
Here's a link a friend sent me:

The Mind of a Sociopath

It details Bernie Madoff's ability to con just about anyone out of their money (an uncanny ability to read people's wants, needs and desires) combined with a total lack of empathy appears to be what made'em tick.
