What does Madoff have to do with the tax evasion? (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 10:02 3
- Posit: Rich people who hide money in Swiss accounts are the same people who would invest with Madoff. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 19, 10:04 2
  - Ah, so it's just a random tangential though of yours. I though there was some Madoff connection in the article that I didn't see. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 10:07
  - a subset thereof. Rich people who don't hide money also got swindled, remember. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 10:06

    - While I agree with you in general, that guy who got arrested deserved it. - musubi Aug 19, 10:09 3

        Well, that's what I mean. He wanted the attention, and the arrest was the way to get it. - musubi Aug 19, 10:15 1
        
        the arrest would've gone fairly unnoticed if he hadn't refused to just pay the fine and instead insist on a trial. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 10:16
