Hold the phone

Who is getting conned here? Are we sure we know?

We have sob story after sob story about the people who were conned by the big con artist, Bernie Madoff. Wha wha wha!!! They fill many, many tissues.

Mmm hmm. Are some of these people con artists too? Is that possible? Is their money actually safe in Israel right now?

Will they be compensated by the US taxpayer for money supposedly lost to fraud, but which is not lost at all?

Who is the real victim of fraud here? The wealthy investors of Bernie Madoff or, once again, the American people?

Will we ever find out the truth? Who can we depend on to expose the corruption?

Who indeed? Nobody!!!! Who would ever confirm such a thing for us? Even if they wanted to, they'd be likely to get whacked or suicided for their trouble. So it's just another wacky conspiracy theory from all those wacky conspiracy theorists who perceive corruption everywhere but can never "prove" it. Right? It's not enough that corruption is obviously everywhere. We must have actual proof, like documents or something. You know, Proof! Which we will not get because there is corruption everywhere. Oh ha ha ha. It must be so fun to be corrupt.

But anyway, we all know that things are never as bad as the conspiracy theorists say. Right? Right. They're always much, much worse. When was the last time corruption turned out to be not as bad as initially suspected? Why would this time be any different?
