Bernie Madoff Has A Very Small Penis
Business Buzz Former Hadassah CEO Sheryl Weinstein wrote a book about her long affair with Bernie Madoff and included details about his penis size and their sex life.

Eleanor Squillari

Image: Is This Pimp Bernie Madoff?
Whoops! Is this most-hated-man Bernie Madoff dressed up as a pimp? Apparently, this image was submitted anonymously by a Long Island Bernie victim who claimed Madoff dressed in fur for some sort of fundraiser. Gawker so aptly puts it, “In other words, a criminal who normally impersonated a legitimate businessman apparently liked to sometimes impersonate a different type of criminal.”

The similarities are striking. How could you not trust a man that looks like old Gee Dubs? Just powder up Bernie's pale cheeks and we might as well slap him on the $50 billion dollar bill.

Madoff Avoids Jail (For Now)
Business Buzz Despite having sent a cool million dollars worth of jewels to friends and family over the holidays, the alleged mastermind behind arguably a $50 billion Ponzi Scheme - the largest financial fraud in history - was given permission to remain under house arrest in his Manhattan penthouse on $10M bail.

Affinity Fraud
Business Buzz The SEC has a special name for getting screwed with your pants on by someone you trust: affinity fraud! The Madoff scandal is a textbook example of affinity fraud, as Bernie exploited a huge number of religious ties in order to build his giant Ponzi scheme. Madoff scammed the Jewish community big-time, and many Jewish charities and universities suffered big losses as a result. The good news is that the Torah reserves “a special circle in Hell” for people who steal from charities. I assume most religious texts do, actually, so that's probably a lesson for future affinity fraudsters.

Shana Madoff
Business Buzz Shana Madoff is the cute niece and former “compliance officer” of Wall St. swindler Bernie Madoff. Shana is married to former SEC lawyer Eric Swanson, who was part of the team that investigated Madoff's investment firm and found it A-OK in 2005. Shana is very likely headed to prison, for which she is preparing with a prep course on “how to survive inside.” $850 and you too can learn how to avoid a prison riot.
