Justice Must Be Seen To Be Done

Now that Bernie Madoff has been incarcerated, it is thought that the market is reacting with approval as the market is going up. Some of his relatives and employees should be counting time.

This article by Vicky Ward about an upcoming article in Vanity Fair would appear to prove that the Noel family of Greenwich could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Madoff's Ponzi scheme. They're still "living large and loving life".

It's interesting that many of Madoff's victims, seen on CNBC yesterday afternoon, are holding the SEC responsible for giving his firm the financial "seal of approval", rather as if they assumed his firm was "too big to fail" and solid because others trusted him with their money. Of course, he had pension and hedge money from many, like the pipefitters of Northern New York State, who had no idea that their money had been funneled off.

Makes sense that focusing on ways of being happy and at peace will take one's mind off the opposite. Doesn't it make you want to take up praying hard, if you don't already do a lot of it?
