However, looking at the American economy these past two years, we know that there have been some pretty wild rides here as well and, unlike the amusement park, these rides don’t end after two minutes. The last year and a half of the Bush Administration was a terrifying freefall. Not necessarily because of the wrong decisions being made; it just seemed that no one was in charge. No one spoke up. No one acted. No one took responsibility and the economy seemed to careen closer to the edge of the cliff with every passing day. The only real option for whoever won the Presidential election was to actually do something. Our congregants and our community, like most other congregations and communities, have been deeply affected by the events of the past two years.

  • S Finance Chief to Plead Guilty
    MADOFF’S FINANCE CHIEF TO PLEAD GUILTY For those of you complaining that I’m not reporting on 3-year old Sibel Edmonds revelations, here’s some news that may offer fresh new insight into the sordid world of international crime and power. Frank DiPascali, the finance chief at Bernard Madoff’s investment advisory business who agreed to plead guilty, could help prosecutors build criminal cases against other players in his boss’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme. DiPascali, 52, is scheduled to enter his plea tomorrow in federal court in Manhattan, U.S. Attorney Lev Dassin told a judge in an Aug. 8 letter that didn’t specify the charges. DiPascali would waive indictment and plead guilty, which signals to lawyers that he is cooperating to lessen his prison term. "I believe he’s cooperating," said John J. Fahy, a former federal prosecutor not involved in the case. "He would be very valuable to the government because he has been close to Madoff for so many years and had to have seen some of the fraudulent transactions that went on. From what we know of Madoff, he trusted very few people." Madoff, of course, has gone off to prison without really telling anyone where the bodies are buried, where the money went, or even who on Wall Street knew and facilitated his scheme. We won’t know for some time how cooperative DiPascali will be, but if he is cooperative, and if he does know where even a few of the bodies are buried, his cooperation might free up information that is otherwise, thus far, successfully buried.

    1 An Earthquake on Wall Street Monday, December 8, 2008 He is ready to stop now, ready to just let his vast fraud tumble down around him. Despite his confident posturing and his apparent imperviousness to the increasing market turmoil, his investors are deserting him. The Spanish banking executives who visited him on Thanksgiving Day still want to withdraw their money. So do the Italians running the Kingate funds in London, and the managers of the fund in Gibraltar and the Dutch-run fund in the Caymans, and even Sonja Kohn in Vienna, one of his biggest boosters. That’s more than $1.5 billion right there, from just a handful of feeder funds. Then there’s the continued hemorrhaging at Fairfield Greenwich Group—$980 million through November and now another $580 million for December. If he writes a check for the December redemptions, it will bounce. There’s no way he can borrow enough money to cover those with- drawals. Banks aren’t lending to anyone now, certainly not to a midlevel wholesale outfit like his. His brokerage firm may still seem impressive to his trusting investors, but to nervous bankers and harried regulators today, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities is definitely not “too big to fail.” Last week he called a defense lawyer, Ike Sorkin. There’s probably not much that even a formidable attorney like Sorkin can do for him at this point, but he’s going to need a lawyer. He made an appointment for 2 | The Wizard of Lies 11:30 am on Friday, December 12.
