Jerome Fisher got just what he deserved…karma is a wonderful thing…it will always come back to bite you on the ass at the least expected time. Tell us Jerome how Nine West somehow “forgot” to pay import duty of tens of millions of dollars. And your wife cheating and screwing all those workmen out of their fair labor when you built that monster ugly house in Palm Beach…”the cottage” you call it.

As the line from Balzac goes: Behind every great fortune lies a great crime. Madoff and the investors were all criminals. I would hate to see either the investors or Madoff’s bunch get compensated for anything.

It is unfortunate AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE LEARN FROM ALL THIS. Enjoy=ing life is eternal. Be grateful and be happy. We are humans and we all make mistakes.

Considering that you people didn’t want Black or Hispanic folks moving into your private EXCLUSIVE world, joining your EXCLUSIVE country club, attending your snobbish social events (some were welcome as long as they left your city limits by sundown) it is just hilarious that you now come to your ABYSS to find that you are no better than the people who clean your toilets. Did you ever stop to think that Bernie Madoff is “JUST PASSING” for Jewish or white. Look closer, he may have an even bigger surprise in store for you. His family history may reveal some deep seated hate for you. It has to be hate, afterall, love does not treat you like this. Anyway, you are the joke and we are laughing. HaHaHa. Let’s do it again, this is so much fun.

At least the cleaners are left with their dignity. Read the Bible “the LOVE of money is the root of evil”. By the way, I’m hiring. Need a job?

Word of mouth in the black community says that flagler swindled blacks off of Palm Beach to come to a party in W. Palm Beach and burnt all of their homes down because he realized how much the land was really worth. That’s how palm beach was acquired.

What goes around comes around.

Do you jealous idiots realize how much money these people who’ve lost a great deal have donated to charity? Mr. Fisher just donated 50M to a new medical facility at Penn. Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro have donated millions and millions to hospitals. This isn’t all about big houses and fancy cars. It’s about doing good for others.

Amazing what ugly and ignorant things some people will say. I know the people in this article. They are quite rich. They are also extraordinarily philanthropic, far more than most Christians or other groups — and I am not Jewish, so I have no axe to grind. They have given away huge fortunes (some of it made through investments with Madoff, but most of it made through lives spent building successful American companies). I mean huge: hundreds of millions of dollars. But that apparently doesn’t interest the spiteful.

I suppose we could get rid of all of these “bloated, jello brained morons”. Of course, we would probably have to close most of the arts companies, museums, colleges, health care institutions, etc. since they will have few donations to support them.

“This scum would never be allowed on Jupiter Island” … “Now I know why the Everglades Club is ‘exclusive’ in more ways than one.” Very nice touch, very classy statements. Completely stupid and ignorant. Or perhaps you really believe that none of us high-class WASPs has ever chased a dollar: God just gave it all to us. What tripe.

What a group of angry, jealous, bigoted proles are emerging as a result of this story.

What next, a guillotine to execute anyone driving a nicer car than you have?

You guys even make crap up to justify your hate…no where have I read that any of the victims are looking for a ‘bailout’ from the US government, only restitution from the criminal himself. One poster wants them to learn that ‘money isn’t everything’…lol. Obviously it means alot to those writing these ugly posts, otherwise they wouldn’t be so obsessed with how much these people had, or have lost. Get over it

Too bad there are people more successful than you…thems the breaks, folks. Go get some self esteem and work on achieving your own success rather than rooting for other people to fail and gloating at their misfortune.
