It is sure a gift to racists and bigots, who want another "evil Jew" stereotype.
I was quite interested in Richard Bridge's comment that Mrs.Madoff would have problems holding onto her assets in a UK court. I ain't going to argue with a lawyer on that issue. However, I wonder if you could put me right on the case of Jonathon Aitken. At one stage, I read that although he was legally separated from his wife Lolicia, he was actually sharing a flat with her shortly after his release from prison. I also read that the assets had been transferred into her name. Does this mean that you can save your assets from seizure by simply legally separating and transferring the assets?

Going back to Madoff, I suppose the big question is how was a man able to get away with so much for so long. Surely this was only possible because of lax security and accounting procedures?
