Madoff ---> Anti-Semitism?

Frankly, I don't see Madoff as an occasion for anti-Semitism as reported by this article. Rather it offers a critique of greed -- both Madoff's and many of those who profited from his scam -- until the floor collapsed. I go with those who see Madoff as an exposé of our money-making systems of late.

Marx must be laughing.
