    This is awful. He's taken so much from individuals and charitable organizations. How does he live with himself?

    Madoff wasn't going after people, they were flocking to him, as individuals and through their brokers. 'You gotta talk to my guy, I can hook you up with Bernie.' This was a status thing for a lot of investors...proof that you had hefty portfolio.

    Crazy, crazy, crazy.

    There's an Arthur Schlichter on the list. You don't think....I mean, he can't possibly have had any money left.

    One thing that's going to be interesting to watch is to see if Madoff's network of contacts who provided him with his victims will be brought into this.

    I'm guessing it would be civil court, if they are.

    Quite a few Texicans on the list.

    Tthis thing reads like a phone book. It's sickening — 162 pages.

    No Okies, unsurprisingly.
