Instead of becoming a prison bitch, Bernie Madoff apparently has fellow inmates lined up to kiss his ring according to this Wall Street Journal article. He's been cozying up to mob bosses, Israeli traitors, and jailhouse artists in a bid to boost his street cred and remain heterosexual. I guess those white collar incarceration classes worked out for him.
For those of you working at hedge funds who might soon require the services of a prison coach, here's the link.
Bernie's a celebrity, and despite what he's done people in prision still want to be nice to him and be friends with him. Thats pretty much all it comes down to. No one in prison is going to feel sympathetic to anyone who's the a position to have $1M+ stolen from them by Bernie. In their view Bernie's a hustler just like them, just a lot more sophisticated.
He would have been a prison bitch if we were talking state or county jail, but obviously he's in federal so its in a different story. Levels of respect in federal prison are more or less determined by the type and magnitude of crimes perpetrated.
Also, Bernie probably didn't scam money from the people incarcerated with him so its not a surprise that he isn't vilified. Who knows, maybe a mini-Bernie is learning all he can so he can pull off a better scheme....
Didn't he kick someone's ass the first week he was in there ?
I think he just got in a shoving match supposedly, but the media loves to blow things out of proportion... Im sure all that really happened was that he bumped into someone while sweeping the floor.
As for state/county vs federal, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
What jail were you incarcerated at?
Shut the fuck up. As if you're sitting in Marion, or as if it even matters enough for someone to see you have no clue what you're talking about.
Your parents own a dry cleaner in Northern Virginia/DC area and drive a Lexus because thats what their white neighbors have. They named you Jerry in hopes you could assimilate into American culture more easily. You jerk off to gay twink porn ever once in a blue moon, you once fellated that quiet emo kid sophomore year of HS, and when you were a kid you used to tape strings to your eyes, to stretch them open. But you still don't fit in. Because you try too hard and smell like noodles, even after, actually especially after, you take a scalding hot shower, trying to burn away your insecure meek self-hate.
If you want some kind of street cred whatever the fuck that means, dont come to WSO to get it.
I've always heard about 'rich people prison' but this is absolutely hilarious.
You're obviously right; I haven't been to prison, but some of my best friends are sitting in Taft and San Quentin. I didn't come here for street cred, I came here to piss you off and laugh about how you are subconsciously a raging homo who gave AIDs to Magic Johnson.
You obviously had a rough childhood, a only child born to a Jewish father and Catholic mother. Your parents were embarrassed that you had didn't have any friends, just your chauffeur Jerry who knew your deepest and darkest secrets (the homo ones). You developed an affection towards asians at an early age when you thought the drycleaners were now your 2nd and 3rd best friends in the world. Yale wasn't any better for you, the cool kids with the blue blazers (with real gold buttons!) made fun of you so you tried to compensate by developing a hate for everybody in society. You always play the villain when you go LARPing on sundays.
To the rest of your comments, you have such a vivid imagination that I can't believe you haven't been featured on 'To Catch a Predator' yet.
The best you could do was mimic my post with different details. You're as original as the Gucci handbags your grandmother sews by hand.
Thats why the only thing you'll ever be good at is doing math on your abacus and folding my shirts.
Isn't that what all bankers do?
Fake Gucci is a better value then the real stuff.
Happy Hanukkah, hope your AIDs situation gets better.
