Here’s a photo of Bernie – Bernie Madoff, that is. He looks in good spirits, though they say that at the time the picture was taken, he already knew he was in deep trouble. Looks can be deceiving, no? He could almost pass for a guy I met at the Detroit Yacht Club many years ago, when it still existed. Pretensions are among the most useless things around, except to a con artist. They say he used to be fastidious and obsessive – nothing but the best for him. I wonder if his family knew he was just a fraud – as fake as Santa Claus. Judging from this photo, he would probably have made a good Santa Claus. I don’t really know.
