The SEC's Brief Filed Before Judge Lifland In MadoffTo most of the audience for this posting, one need not explain the history of Madoff from 1992 onward, or explain the economic experiences of the last four decades or so, for readers to grasp the background that engenders my view of the screw-the-little guy thrust of the SEC's brief.

More On Net Equity. Plus Picower.In reading what little the Trustee has said in the past to justify his cash-in/cash-out position on net equity, a couple of thoughts struck me that, as far as I can recollect, have thus far not been made by opponents. I shall set them forth here.

The Report Of SEC Inspector General KotzIn this essay, I shall not attempt to summarize Kotz's 457 page report. What shall be done instead is to discuss a particular perception the report induced in me, plus some points in the report that struck me forcibly and contributed to the perception but often seem not to have generally been picked up elsewhere or to have received only brief or minor mention elsewhere.

The Government's Motion Of September 21, 2009 In The Criminal Case Against MadoffOn September 21st, the Government made a motion for forfeiture and remission proceedings in the criminal case against Madoff. The motion plainly would result in serious injury to many victims of Madoff, and seemed to me highly objectionable.

Jack Goldsmith Stands Convicted, part 1 any lawyer in private practice who tortured law or ignored fact to give support and cover to a clientâs gravely illegal conduct would be subject to disbarment, subject to criminal prosecution, and disqualified from being on any respectable law school faculty. How or why it should be different for lawyers who did such things to facilitate the gravest governmental misconduct, conduct which involved torture and sometimes murder, is something that escapes me.

Jack Goldsmith Stands Convicted, part 2... to not know that prisoners were being transferred for torture, Goldsmith would have had to be living under a rock during his time at DOD and must have completely failed to read pertinent OLC torture memos ...None of this seemed plausible and now, thanks to Goldsmithâs own book, we know he read and was horrified by torture memos after he was put in charge of OLC and long before he wrote the transfer memo.

Jack Goldsmith Stands Convicted, part 3There are.. some problems with Goldsmithâs little mea non culpa. What the CIA had been doing is torture pure and simple, and nothing that Levin said, or George Bush says, can change that fact. You can call the sky a floor if you want, but that wonât make it one, and you can call waterboarding a friendly gesture if you want, but that wonât make it something other than torture.

Greater And Lesser Potpourri Regarding Madoff, Starting With The IRS And Then Moving To Other Matters. Part IIThe SEC -- though it ironically is one of the governmental or quasigovernmental bodies most responsible for allowing Madoff to succeed -- has put together what one thinks the best description to date of the methods used by Madoff to fool victims, agencies, feeder funds, and huge organizations or immensely wealthy individuals who sought to do due diligence, and others.

Greater And Lesser Potpourri Regarding Madoff, Starting With The IRS And Then Moving To Other Matters. Part 1If readers do not remember anything else written in this post or in its continuations, I beseech them to remember this: the IRS now appears to have surely admitted, in the letter of August 21st, that its review of Madoff was a paper-only-review -- was a review that was an open invitation for any liar, any Madoff, to receive IRS approval as a non-bank custodian by means of egregious fraudulent misstatements, and to thereby receive aid from the IRS in defrauding victims.
