I remember Bernie Madoffs case unwinding rather quickly once news broke.
The elephant in the room that needs to be addressed is that SFB was the second largest doner to the democratic party where the DOJ is headed by an democratic appointee. This is a very bad look for justice and the democratic party and the longer they let this drag out the worse it looks for them.
- ethanbond 4y agoBernie Madoff who faced credible allegations of fraud for years and only shut down when he straight up told his sons "it's one big lie?" I don't know that that's actually as "quickly" as it appears.

- georgeplusplus 4y agoMy point wasn't if the donations themselves were crooked or not. It's that he was giving large sums of money to the party that is supposed to be investigating him. It's a huge conflict of interest.
- tom-thistime 4y agoFair enough.
