"Weekend At" Bernie Madoff scammed a lot of people in different industries with his now famous $50 billion Ponzi scheme. (Anyone else going to be watching the CNBC hour-long feature special this week?)
But who is your favorite of all the victims?
Is it NJ Senator Frank Lautenberg's charitable trust? Is it Steven Spielberg? Check out the full list and let us know

Lappin Foundation:
With its mission of "helping to keep our children Jewish, thus reversing the trend of assimilation and intermarriage" I think this was a rightful ending for them.
The Lappin Foundation has never done anything to hurt anyone, and here you go saying you're happy that they lost a ton of money in this scandal. Maybe you don't agree with their agenda, but why be an asshole about their predicament?
Don't you think it's kind of an irony when you have an agenda of "helping to keep our children Jewish, thus reversing the trend of assimilation and intermarriage"
and then get ripped off by a fellow Jew?
(just like how new immigrants get usually ripped off by their own people)
I hope spielberg lost every penny he made from Indiana Jones 4.
I dont think that the Lappin Foundation would feel betrayed by a "Fellow Jew." They probably feel like they got fucked over by a criminal. I think most people, even Jews, just see this guy as a criminal/con artist. I dont know why everyone cares so much about the Jew thing, yes a good portion of the investors were Jewish but everyone can admit that what this guy did was wrong. I am Jewish and I don't particularly agree with the Lappin Foundation's mission statement, I am gonna marry whoever the hell I want but they were just investing like the rest of us.
No. The best victim by far was the NY Mets. They pay money to both choke artists (the players) and scam artists. This is too perfect.
Thi is just one more bad investment, like Wagner, Alou, Beltran, Green and Gonzales.
I was gonna say the same thing. You forgot to include Mo Vaughn and Luis Castillo
what about Pedro? would you classify that as a successful investment? as a Red Sox fan, watching pedro in 2000, 2001 was amazing. but he started breaking down in 2004-5 and i think the Mets overpaid.
I thought this was funny. I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this yet.
