To: Baby Ruth
From: Your Bernie
The box from ProFlowers is from me, I also sent you a package of those chocolate-covered Wasabis--but more important--remember that thing? Its still in that place, so I'm thinking this would be a good time.
BTW-Stop with asking me what stocks to buy! Now that everybody is talking about buying stocks, this is exactly the time to be careful. Stick with the game plan!

Wiley #Wilpon Moves Mets Stakeholder Sale to #Kickstart
From: Fred Wilpon
To: Bernie Madoff
re: THANKS!
I could be blind in both eyes at this point, and I certainly don't care if Kickstarter is a legal way or not-so-kosher way for kickstarting my loans payable problems...so..I say thanks (once again) for your idea.
You've saved the game, again! I LOVE YOU, Bernie Boychick!
You'll see our "project" profiled on their site within the next few days!
P.S. Not sure about whether we want to play the game of gaming the pledging process by having every member of the team "bid it up", but tell your son Andy that I appreciate his suggestion.

Pardon Madoff: #Gingrich Cites #Stanford, #STOCK Act
From: Newt Gingrich
To: Bernie Madoff
cc: S.Adelson
Bernie:
Shelly Adelson has convinced me that one of my first acts as President would necessarily include a pardon for you.
Your historic contributions to the transfer of wealth in this country, which in turn provided unheralded stimulation to the economy, e.g. employment of domestic servants [even if some were illegal immigrants], the once-vibrant real estate market, the luxury goods industry, and more recent stimulus to professional accounting and legal service sectors are just a few of the ways that you have made America the land of opportunity.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg including you in his list of mentors is merely the most recent illustration of the contributions that you make on an ongoing basis.
More importantly, since the day that you voluntarily came forward and disclosed your missteps, you have demonstrated tremendous remorse, and have clearly made it your mission to right apparent wrongs. Aside from your ongoing insight as to the inner workings (or lack thereof) of the SEC, the cozy and questionable relationships between major banks and government agencies, I cite merely two of many examples for which you have proven to be a dedicated crime-fighter:
1. The February 2009 news article in the UK's Daily Telegraph crediting you for being single-handedly responsible for blowing the whistle on that nutcase Allen Stanford.
2. More recently, I can, with eyes wide open, credit your comments back in October (which came well before the 60 Minutes story ) for being the stimulus to the Senate passing legislation just yesterday that will make it harder for Congresspeople to capitalize on corporate inside information.
Your Midas-like abilities to analyze financial markets is best illustrated by your recommendation only 3 weeks ago to buy gold--which has since risen 8%, equating to an almost 100% annual return--and I trust that you will support my comments last week to convene a special committee that would re-evaluate and chew steak over opining about the US returning to the gold standard.
On the foreign policy front, you've been nothing short of prescient. Your advice over the past several years that we should get the f*ck out of Iraq and Afghanistan (and let the Chinese try their hand at dominating those places); that Pakistan should be our big worry because that's really where Bin Laden was billeted; and that the Arab Spring was nothing to applaud because its nothing more than a chaotic precursor to the expansion of Islamic fundamentalist focus--all of these thoughts, and more--have documented your unique insight to foreign policy smart thinking.
Please let your friends know that I'm also a big supporter of ChocWasabi, and when elected President, I will do everything in my power to replace the M&Ms that can be found in candy-bowls throughout the West Wing with these delicious and healthy snacks--ones that only look like they were imported from China, but are actually made here in the good old USA!

Blind Eye on Bernie Syndrome
To: Irv Picard
From: Fred Wilpon
You keep claiming that I turned a "blind eye", when I "clearly saw evidence" that Bernie was running a Ponzi scheme. To that I say: "Baloney"! It might be true that I turned a blind eye after everyone in the locker room at PBCC said that Bernie's returns came from his front-running orders placed at his brokerage, but you haven't made that argument; that's because its all "hear say" and my lawyers say you can't introduce it to a court proceeding! Ha!
My own players have been pitched plenty of spit balls, and as far as the "blind eye doctrine" is concerned, there's plenty of precedence that protects me. For illustrative purposes, all of these other people have been accused of "blind eye syndrome"...and even if Jon Corzine isn't part of this particular proceeding, as Bernie would say, "Trust me" when I tell you that Corzine will skate by invoking the same "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" argument that I'll testify to if asked whether I heard that something was awry!

#Madoff Moves to #Kickstarter
To: Andy Madoff
From: Your Dad
I got your note re: request to hand over the private numbers ofour my investors. All I can is, "Schmuck! Why go back to a poisoned well when you can kickstart your stupid idea using "Kickstarter.com"?
If you still haven't learned how to read, get your shicksa goddess to read you today's story in the Times talking about a company that serves as a fund raising platform for this mishegas "crowd-funding" idea. This thing isn't regulated at all, and it allows knuckleheads like you to solicit investment capital for what those of us with more than 15 minutes of financial industry experience would define as being nothing more than old-fashioned investment schemes.
Here's the real kicker; instead of using those clowns at Goldman, Morgan and Merrill charging the typical 7% underwriting fee, these kickstarter guys are dsintermediating the investment bank industry and only charging 5 points. Its f**king brilliant!
While those bonebrains at SEC spend half their day coming to this blog, and the other half chasing after ghosts, you need to put your idea on Kickstarter. If it only sounds like a really good idea, you could raise millions, without having to provide any documentation, without having to register any securities with any regulators, without having to pay legal fees, without having to pay idiot CPAs to prepare worthless audit documents and without having to be accountible to anyone..And, if the wind simply blows in a different direction two minutes after the money is released to you, no worries! You can keep it all and have dinner at Primola every night for the rest of the year!
Don't believe me?? Read about the guy that solicited $15k to create a watchband to support one of those iPod devices...a watchband! The kid raised 900 Grand simply by promoting the idea on the Kickstarter website! What do you think he's doing with the $885k surplus?? I'll tell you what he isn't doing: he's not paying interest or dividends to any investors, that's for sure! And, its LEGAL!
Here's what's going to happen next: after Mitch Romney loses in the general election, his boys are going to buy kickstarter--and Newt Gingrich is going to be their DC lobbyist. Everybody wins! No worries about insider trading because there's no public stock, and if they want to manipulate SecondMarkets..so be it! Its all legal!
Love,
Dad
