Pretty sure Madoff lost $50 Billion in real money.
-
WHo knows exactly what he was thinking? But consider - it was working! And really, so long as the economy was growing, Madoff could have run this scheme for years (unless the SEC finally got their shit together). The scheme collapsed once the gener…

Can one of you fiscal brainiacs explain to me how someone is able to defraud on such a massive scale? It still doesn't add up in my mind. Pretty simple, really. It was a straight-up Ponzi scheme. People give you money to invest, and you just stick …

A 401(k) is not a basket. It's just a savings plan - how you choose to invest the money in that account is a different story. If all your 401k is on ONE single stock or mutual fund, you're not diversifying.

3) How stupid can some rich people be? Not much stupider or smarter than not-so-rich people. If I thought I could get a 10% annual return, I'd be signing up for that shit too. Rich people generally know that you can't legitimately get a 10% ret…

Dan - Madoff didn't take a plea deal. "Madoff didn???t agree to a plea deal with prosecutors because they demanded he admit to a conspiracy, according to people familiar with the matter. That would have required him to say he worked with others in…

It's really amazing how sticky the dialogue from this film is - most memorized lines by a mass audience...evah? Godfather's lines are so repeated people don't realize that's where they came from. Ooooh...Godfather vs. Princess Bride line-off. Tha…

even better is http://booksthatmakeyoudumb.virgil.gr/ Check out where the Holy Bible sits.

There were close to ten tapes worth of material, sadly 7 of them were damaged beyond repair.

I stand corrected, thanks!
-
interesting topic! just how popular were Can at the time? I know we would consider them an official part of the canon nowadays but were they well known enough to reach the ears of 24 carat black? Surely they were a little known german band at the …
-
The original topic is why the two artists have two songs that sound really alike. Logic would dictate that either it's 1) a pure coincidence or 2) one artist "borrowed" from the other. The simplest explanation - absent "empirical proof" (i.e. a sm…
-
Wowzers! (P.S. don't refer to me as "son". You don't know me like that) Now who's getting defensive?
-
How is it that 24 CB bit Can, technically speaking? A consensus can be - and in fact, often is - wrong. What empirical proof do you have? Do you have an interview with a 24 CB producer or a statement from someone who was a member of Can? We all know…
-
Can - Ege Bamyasi came out in 1972, 24 Carat Black - Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth came out in 1973. Was 24 Carat Black into Can or is it just weird that both of their songs sound alike? This has come up often over the years. Last time I heard it de…

I didn't even know the Netherlands has a baseball team

Isn't the real joke that out all the news that is reported on the big 4 + Fox etc TDS is a candidate for a legit news source? I mean what does that say about media in America? The painfully obvious, unfortunately. But then again, The Daily Show is…
-
Its crazy that apparently they haven't mentioned this all day on CNBC, MSNBC or NBC... Report on getting straight HERBED on TDS? Yeah, I can see why they're maintaining radio silence.
-
The Daily Show is the Librul Media (and that dude name Rachel on MSNBC).
-
I think WT makes some good points here, not the least of which is that consumers bear responsibility for being more informed. That said, CNBC deserves every bit of beat down they get - though that will only make a difference if their ratings actuall…
-
I've always read that "we're a comedy show card" as not a defense but the point that if actual news organizations did their f*cking job and occasionally tried to speak truth to power, The Daily Show would be out of business. TDS feeds off the fact…

Just found out I'm having a girl. Have mercy on my soul. I dunno, I think girls are easier to raise than boys.

Men just find new hang-ups. "ugly elbows" :P

I'd be curious to know if any of the folks with kids were ever planning to not have children at all with their significant other. i'm not talking about the "i'm 25, F*ck kidz, lets get drunk", but the "we are a married/established couple and have n…
-
No. Insufficient return on investment.
-
But I do console myself with my age... I can really play with my kids. I think of that when I see these 50 year old assnuts with 3 year olds. It's like, really? You'll be collecting social security before your kids graduate from high school! As …
-
I'm jaded on having kids, I have a 4yr old daughter who is split between myself and the baby momma, no more kids for me, I see how they can change a relationship in a snap. I advise on not having kids, enjoy your nieces, nephews, and friends' kids…

Im sure all the parents on SS can relate to this -- there's no bigger joy than seeing your child smile or laugh -- not even Boscoe. Yeah - I think children are more rewarding than anything one could possibly imagine but this is impossible to really…
