He had a enlightening thread on LF about pychopaths. Made me realize I was working amongst a bunch of them.

For me, one “pak the ca” sounds like another. Movies?

They smile like crocodiles, just with mouth and teeth.

Here’s a guy that understands all that: http://johndenugent.com/

Merry Christmas to you too, my brother.

Villehuchet did sound like a decent guy, from the little out there. The fact that he acted “subdued” about the crisis I read as horrified and aghast, as opposed to the histrionics we’ve been treated to by the other “victims.” The psychopaths never get the emotions right. This is their fatal flaw. They don’t really know how it’s supposed to ‘look’ and ’sound,’ so they just pull something out of their ass. It’s like watching badly executed Boston accents in the movies.

Maybe Villehuchet was reaching for that wrench when he paused and instead decided to slit BOTH wrists with a box cutter. At least it wasn’t suicide by two shots to the back of the head, as it sometimes goes.

The DRUDGE headline today was “SLASH”! (Retailers losing blood and money too, it seems.) Tasteless media wordplay, but what’s new.

Merry Christmas, sis.

Actually Pete, I think we’re on the same page there. I think the Madoff money is in Israel, and most of the people supposedly defrauded are themselves committing fraud against the US. I don’t buy their sob stories. My hope is that somebody might throw a monkey wrench in somewhere. A girl can hope.

I tend to see it as tribe versus non-tribe. Okay, call me a Talmudist.

But as you wrote, Madoff moves $50B to Israel, calls it lost via fraud. Somehow submarine cables are cut making further electronic funds transfers out of that region impossible. Which jew has lost money in that?

Look at history: It’s always been a huge strategic mistake not to see and play jews as a monolith. The problem then becomes confirming who’s who.

Yes, thank you. That’s the dynamic I was trying to get at. I don’t think Madoff was the last of the giant cons, and notice how various people associated with him are “committing suicide.” I would expect the mysterious deaths to escalate over the next couple of months as the twisted people pick each other off. But sooner or later, something is bound to come out that will unravel things.

I really think the Madoff Double Bluff theory has the ring of truth, and that alone, if confirmed, would blow a lot of things right out of the water.

The achievement instinct of a swindler is to swindle other lesser swindlers. P.T. Barnum said (something like) “It’s a moral duty to take money from a sucker.”

Madoff’s client list consisted of the captains and kings of finance, the fixers of governments and the triangulators of angles. I think that explains his full-faced smile. In the pantheon, his bust is assured.

I think the short answer is that when a bunch of totally corrupt and greedy people get together and make big plans covered with lies, they tend to screw each other in the process. Not that we would necessarily know until later. This is more or less an article of faith. That’s all I got, brother.
