Madoff's stolen statue returned â with a 'lesson'
PALM BEACH, Fla. â Thieves calling themselves "The Educators" have returned a statue stolen from disgraced investment guru Bernie Madoff. And they hope he's learned his lesson.
The Palm Beach Post reports that the $10,000 copper sculpture turned up Wednesday near the country club Madoff (MAY'-dawf) belonged to.
A note attached read: "Bernie the Swindler, Lesson: Return stolen property to rightful owners. Signed by â The Educators."
The statue was reported missing Dec. 22, about a week after the Wall Street money manager was arrested on charges he bilked investors out of more than $50 billion. His clients included major banks, charities and retirees.
Police are investigating the return of the statue, which did not appear to be damaged.

I personally know a man who's brother committed suicide this week after losing $$$$ to BM's scam.
And, oddly enough, I don't know if he meant Kevin himself, or if my friend has a part time day job, but I'm on another chat board with Kevin Bacon's lead guitar player in his band The Bacon Brothers, and this man told us all that his "boss" lost his entire family's life savings to BM and his scam.
Truth is always stranger than fiction.
But in this case, it's just surreal.

For all we know it was the mafia running it with Bernie as the front guy.
Forgot who, but someone here said if he messed with the Russian Mafia, BM and his family are thru with this world.
