Madoff's Taste in Home Decor Full of Bull

Share

(Newser) – While seizing Bernie Madoff's Palm Beach possessions yesterday, US Marshals got an eyeful of the fraudster's home furnishings, reports the Palm Beach Post. And they weren't impressed. "I've never seen so much bull in my life," said one deputy. "Pictures of bulls, bull statues, even bulls on clothing. There's a lot of bull in the house." And at the marina, one of the two seized vessels was a 55-foot yacht. Its name? Bull.

Well, if it wasn't for a bull market, he would have none of it; simply giving the bull it's due... but once the bull got away, the king lost it all. Reply
