LOL, Kens. NOT me. I didn’t go. I saw footage on TV, and it just looked like so much junk. TTFW (Too Tacky for Words). I also read that there’s a lot more of their stuff to be auctioned – including heavy furniture to be trucked up from Palm Beach – but the U.S. Marshals wanted to see how well things sold at this auction first.
Madoff isn’t the typical securities fraudster. His fraud affteded too many too personally and was far too brazen. He went beyond the street and into tabloid-land. His was a morality play, and those have more legs. His notoriety won’t have the shelf-life of Dennis K. but of the likes of Amy Fisher/Joey Buttafuoco, or perhaps old Mr. Ponzi himself.
Except for some nice watches and jewelry, what a lot of junk was sold at the Madoff auction this weekend. All that money, and that’s the best they could do for housewares and artwork???
Where are the crazy cat ladies? Oh wait…that would be me (for one) 🙂

madoff is the posterchild for the phrase “money doesn’t buy taste (or class) “
let me find out you’ll be rockin Madoff jacket to the gathering
CGar, did you actually go to the auction?
Well, that explains why one Rolex didn’t sell at all, and another sold well below its estimate.
The watches had all been “modified” in some for or another so worth less to true collectors.
