some Jews who prey on Jews just like anyone else. I am not convicting this guy, just saying seize what ever assets you can find and let the courts deal with it.

Who believe that they can have a abnormal high return on their investment .

Maybe they were just greedy

I will never read again passage: Whole Israel has a part in World to come as it is written "And your children, they are all righteous and there is no flaw in them" (Talmudic passage, read after "Akiva said..." and "Aleinu" in Shabbat morning service)

And completely unacceptible.

In matters of coin, trust no one. Protecting your assets has priority over generating profit. Raw stupid to put that kind of gelt in hands of one man. Sheer greed overcame good judgement. No sympathy for any of them.

This story is disgusting, as is the Madoff one. By what would anyone be so naive as to invest in these crazy schemes? Didn't they think that something wasn't 100 % right?

Ironic that Israeli who pride themselves thet they are no "friers" end up being "friers". You just got to laugh!!!

Named after the late Charles Ponzi of Italy, later Boston, who died in poverty in Brazil. But to quote the late Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen: "A billion dollars here, a billion dollars there, soon it adds up to REAL money!" Still, I commiserate with the scam victims, but somehow doubt Rothstein's promise that every penny will be paid back.

So, the 'investors' were ripped off in another Ponzi scheme. Curious how the majority of respondents on these talkbacks are only concerned because 'Jews' were ripped off by another Jew. Why? Afraid that there won't remain enough wealthy Jews to send money to Israel? Or give campaign donations to buy influence with American politicians?

you are absolutely right. take the goniff and get all his assets to give to his victims and throw him in the cell with bernie and throw away the key. they are perfect for each other. they will make a lovely couple.

according to people with your mentality there will always be plenty of rich Jews, there aren't any other kind, after all- we control all the banks, media, politicians, etc. You are right about one thing though, Jews everywhere will continue to send support to Israel.

you are underqualified to speak of Hashem

Millions they have to gamble with hmm when stinging clients that's called business but when the gander get's goosed oh my that is called being a victim of fraud. Wake up readers those kind of investments are made out of the pure greed no amount is enough for them, But when they lose what cry babies! Get lost too bad you don't lose all your finacial wealth.

For someone named after a purple dinosaur, I am not surprised you would rather pathetically attempt to not answer the post. Cry me a river.

This would have never had made it into the Jewish owned mediacracy had it been some Jewish attorney stealing from Gentiles. But G_d forbide a Jew stealing from another Jew. Now he really has broken one of the Ten Commandments. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

to 20 Jews stealing from anyone is wrong. i guess it made the media because it is maybe not so routine. Non jews stealing from nonjews-there isn't enough media space to talk about all of that and mike-the purple dinsaur comment-like a third grader hurling insults. 4th or 5th grade? i did answer the post. you implied that Jews are only concerned because stealing from another Jew would somehow diminish Jewish support and political influence- contrary to your beliefs although there are crooked Jews as there are all people-I merely informed you that no amount of theft from Jews will diminish worldwide Jewish support for the nation of the Jewish people-Israel. that isn't so hard to understand is it. Your next post will probably be nah nah nah boo boo.

because you took what I said out of context. Number 6, when someone in your family (an insider) ripps you off, that's the worst betrayal because you don't expect that from people who have the same ideology (Judaism in this case) as you do, and from people that you know and trust. So let's not deflect the issue. This article talks about Jews ripping off Jews, and to me as a Jew, it's the worst betrayal. And number 9, if you are not Jewish, I can understand you asking a question like that. So let me ask you a question. Is ripping off Jews OK for you?

Yes, the whole economic system is based upon greed. But does that mean that it is ok to ripp off investors because they are trying to maximize their returns? There are rules in the game. You can't ripp off investors money and say they were getting greedy and deserved to be robbed. It's absolute nonsense!

that one jew with his pen ,can do more damage than 25 puerto ricans with machine guns how true,and what a shame

They want to invest in settlements thus contributing to more land grab? I'm glad they got ripped off.

But those rules also say you can't expect an ABNORMAL high return without abnormal high risks to be ripped off .

I'm 100 % Jewish , you must know this already . You said that riping off Jews is'nt OK . So i asked if for you , ripping off Gentiles is OK . For me ripping off , is ripping off and has to be condemned , not important who the "victims" are . And listen , with money , don't trust ANYBODY who promises you ABNORMAL high returns , it can't be "kosher" .

...are just greedy-gus trying to make a dishonest buck. As we said in The Bronx, my heart beats blue borscht for them.
