Enron for Jews

An amazing list on Clusterstock of Bernie Madoff's victims. Many, many of them are Jewish. Country clubs, federations, the Jewish establishment. Including of course the Lappin foundation, which was dedicated to preventing assimilation and has now gone belly up. Oh well.

Speaking of intermarriage, The Forward reports that Bernie Madoff's collapse is being treated the way that some Jewish families treat a kid who marries out:

the Madoffs were such significant contributors to UJA-Federation of New York that the charity placed a death notice in the New York Times, extending sympathies to the Madoff family following the death of a family member. The notice mentioned Bernard Madoff, and referred to the family as "cherished friends and leaders whose deep commitment to the New York Jewish community profoundly impacts millions of lives."

  1. Cluster.. erm … stock, great site. I notice a lot of comments there are ad hominems against the guy who runs the site, which is unusual for a finance site except when it is regarded as displaying a whistle-blowing tendency, I would say.

    BTW, Phil, here is something you might find interesting, if you haven't seen it; a review of Walt & Mearsheimer by Kevin MacDonald. It mentions your piece “Do the Goyim Get to Register an
    Opinion Re Walt/Mearsheimer?” :

    "Enron of the Jews"

    Enron was itself brought down with the help of big-time Jewish white-collar criminals — remember the Fastows?
