It is a Saturday in July, and many other criminals of Madoff’s stripe are out today on their yachts, and will later today dine in fine restaurants, enjoy cocaine* and perhaps a call girl to top off the evening. In the meantime, there sits Bernie.
Why are so many called, but only one chosen? Why you, Bernie, and no one else?
It’s a no-brainer. Look at the victims. Bernie chose powerful people to scam. Others, say like Angelo Mozilo, former head of former Countrywide, chose weak people. It’s OK to scam weak people. That’s what the free market is all about. But rough up someone with money and connections, and you’ll wind up in jail.

*There are no penalties for powerful people regarding use of drugs. However, a black person smoking a joint might easily end up in prison. That’s the American way. The “War on Drugs” is really a war on minorities.
