其实他们比谁都明白， 什么信仰、自由、博爱.....在攻击他人缺陷时，往往是不遗余力，落井下石。轮到自己时，孩子的钱都不放过、老人的钱也要通吃。北京话讲： 你至于吗？住着豪宅，开着游艇，混在上流社会，还是贪婪恶习不改。什么样的社会圈子能打造出此类“精英”、什么样的环境能养成这种贪婪？！当若干个个体或群体从事不道德的交易而对全球造成影响时，地球村的其他族群可能会问：这村落（国家）还有道德可言吗？
Bernard Madoff - 耻辱
http://chinese.wsj.com/gb/20081215/fea115607.asp?source=article
Affected clients
Those affected include banks, Wall Street investors, charities, and individuals.
Spanish Banco Santander's Optimal Fund lost over $3 billion.[47] [7] Swiss private banks lost £2.5 billion, of which one billion Swiss francs (£570m) were lost by Union Bancaire Privée, a Geneva-based private bank.[8][9] BNP Paribas estimated its exposure to be more than $460m.[48]
Several charities were severely affected by Madoff's indictment. The $8 million Boston-based Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation, which had the bulk of its money invested with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, closed its doors and laid off its seven staff members. Some stated goals of the 16-year-old charity had been "reversing the trend of assimilation and intermarriage",[49] funding trips for about 1,800[10] teens to Israel, and enrichment programs for Jewish educators.[12]
Other charities affected by the downfall include The North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, which claimed to have lost $5 million, and The Julian J. Levitt Foundation, which lost about $6 million.[10]
Some smaller asset management firms were significantly affected as well. UK-based Bramdean Alternatives lost 35% of its stock value after it revealed that about £21m (nearly 10% of its holding) was exposed.[48]
