The gloves are about to come off, bitches. As you all well know, we don’t often get into finance and investment news here, except to discuss victims of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. Well, Bernie Madoff’s 163-page list of alleged victims has now become public as part of his piece-of-crap firm’s bankruptcy-court filings. Although there are thousands of names on the list, here is a small portion of the summary from New York Times’ Dealbook:

Some caveats: The list includes anyone who responded to advertisements placed by the trustee overseeing the bankruptcy of the firm, and not every name on the list is necessarily a victim of Mr. Madoff’s reputed $50 billion Ponzi scheme. There was no indication how much money, if any, each customer invested.

From baseball: Sandy Koufax, the Hall of Fame pitcher and Dodgers legend (also an old friend of Fred Wilpon, the Mets owner who was also burned by the Madoff scheme) and Tim Teufel, a former Mets second baseman.

From entertainment and the media: John Malkovich, the actor; the estate of John Denver, the late singer; and Larry King, the talk-show host.

The list goes on, of course, and even includes Madoff’s own fucking lawyer, but what pisses me off the most is seeing Malkovich on that list. Seriously, who fucks with John Malkovich? Give Madoff the fucking electric chair.
