Quote from telozo: Before going too deep into the sociopath thing, think about where all that money that's gone missing went. Finding the answer would shed some light on his behavior. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great point. I agree ------------------ The sexual sociopath, the crime is always sexual, the motive is not about sex. Same with Madoff, assuming the motive is money, it is not correct.
And what would that purpose be? He's not helping the government find the lost/stolen funds. Why isn't he locked up?
There are thousands upon thousands of mutual funds that receive billions in investor funds and most just get market returns. So if you have the connections the billions are there. He was the chairman of the nasdaq (that's another issue) and had extensive connects to the money world of wallstreet and the jewish community. He didn't need to fabricate returns. People will line up for 15% returns.
How do you know what he is doing? There is way more to this picture than meets the eye, obviously. surf
Madoff is probably just the tip of the iceberg of financial crime in the USA Maybe it's time to have a spring clean ?
One way to understand Madoff read King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore. It is full of insights on the male energies that drove him to pull this rouse.
Here's a link a friend sent me: The Mind of a Sociopath It details Bernie Madoff's ability to con just about anyone out of their money (an uncanny ability to read people's wants, needs and desires) combined with a total lack of empathy appears to be what made'em tick.
