Bernie Maddof is being pressed with more charges. He is now being charged with financing a cocaine-fueled work environment and a "culture of sexual deviance." The two largest claims against him are that he was having employees purchased cocaine for himself and other employees. The other is the solicitation of prostitution. Both of course all paid for with company dollars which brings up another charge of financial fraud - not that he doesn't have enough of those.

Among the allegations in the 264-page lawsuit are that during the mid-1970s, Madoff began sending employees to buy drugs for company use.

I'm impressed with Bernie's resume. Seems like he has all the trappings of a good community organizer- cocaine, prostitution off shore tax shelters, financial expertise. Obama should pardon him and make him the new banking czar or Secretary of the Treasury at least. He would be in good company I'm sure.

All jews in the united states and around the world are criminals and should be punished. Scandle after scandle, there isn't a major scandle in the united states without fiding jews in the middle of it.... from madoff, to abramoff, to ballard, criminals, spies, and just low life criminals.... time to get rid of them once and for all...

Sir, there isn't a scandal where "You People" of low intelligence spout off about their racist beliefs. I imagine that if you were to check the percentage, the "jews" are not in any higher percentage category than others. No, I'm not Jewish -- I'm Southern Baptist. Criminals aren't elitist.

I despise the Israeli leadership, and it's policies of degrading and tormenting the lives of Palestinians. I resent the dysfunctional relationship the Israeli lobby has constructed in this country where Israel can do no wrong, and any criticism of Israel is instantly branded as ani-Semitic diatribe. I am not Jewish, but I have had Jewish criminals ( LCN connected ) in my family through marriage. I have also had a variety of Jews as good frineds throughout my life. I will always be proud of the old country (Franco's Spain) for not turning it's back on the Jews throughout the Holocaust. Your commentary is ignorant, ludicrous and offensive. I grew up inside a Mafia-connected family and I can safely say that there is slime in every race, creed and nationality just as there are decent people.

The fact that Mr Maddof is Jewish has no bearing to his undeniable lack of character. He simply sold his soul... just as many men have..... for worldly treasures and the intoxications of pleasure. (Though not all).... Many of the victims were as well... practioners of greed. Simplistic yet true is the ole wisdom "All that glitters is not gold."
