Elie Wiesel "bankrupted" by Madoff scandal[views:2350][posts:6]__________________________________________ [Feb 28,2009 10:04am - Conservationist ""] Wiesel, whose charitable foundation was wiped out by Madoff, has until now mostly kept quiet about the alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme. But today, the Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient spoke passionately about his betrayal by Madoff, whom he referred to variously as "a crook, a thief, a scoundrel," as well as a "swindler" and "evil." Wiesel acknowledged that in addition to having lost his foundation's assets, he lost his personal wealth to Madoff. "All of a sudden, everything we have done in forty years--literally, my books, my lectures, my university salary, everything—was gone," he said during a panel discussion hosted by Condé Nast Portfolio. http://www.cnbc.com/id/29428542 To rip off a HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR and a HOLOCAUST FOUNDATION... how low can you be? That's like raping a 2-year-old: Several jurors dabbed their eyes with tissues in a hushed courtroom late Friday as they watched a video showing the defendant, Chester Arthur Stiles, whisper to a 2-year-old while he repositioned her on a bed for various sex acts. "Do you like that? Does it feel good?" Stiles asks the girl near the end of the 15-minute video, which the judge deemed so disturbing that she closed the courtroom to all but a few news reporters, security officers and court officials during the viewing. Stiles also is accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl while he and a girlfriend spent two nights as guests at the girl's Las Vegas home in December 2003. That girl, now 11 and living in Washington state, testified Monday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090228/ap_on_re_us/sex_tape_trial For you sickos: she had to stand, because she still has problems sitting thanks to a ruptured rectum and displaced vaginal canal, including fistulas. |
