TZ/Dowling on Rolex and Madoff

In this TZ "sticky" timezone . com
James Dowling offers a link to a 162 page list of Madoff victims as proof to support Rolex's assertion that it was not involved with Madoff. Hopefully that is true. However, if you look at the 162 page list you will notice that all the listed victims are United States victims and there are not any foreign individuals or entities listed. There may well be another lengthy list yet to come.

Mmmm interesting this is bigger than Watergate

I guess whether Rolex got involved or not is a private matter. Who knows

Bernard Madoff's story is very interesting, he's almost a modern day Robin Hood.

He steals from the rich and gives it to the poor, charities.

He gave millions to charity and started up many charitable foundations which he donated an astronomical amount of money.

The problem is he also stole from a lot of charitable organizations. Some had to immediately close down as soon as Madoff was exposed.

Nice guy, stealing from charities.
