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."
