About 40 years ago I was reading a cover article in a Nashville business magazine where the subject put out some information I remember to this day. He said, "If you go broke, go big broke. if you get a couple months behind on a car note the bank repos your car. If you get behind on the interest payment of a $1,000,000 loan your banker calls you up and asks if everything is OK." Always been true, is true today and will be true tomorrow.

Steve Kroft conducted an excellent interview of Drier. Kroft is the consummate professional journalist. In this interview, he asked the questions that needed to be asked and did it in such a way where Drier didn’t feel he needed to be defensive and instead openly and, I feel, honestly answered the questions Kroft put to him. This is a fascinating case, where an intelligent, highly educated man used incredibly poor judgement in pursuit of satisfying what turned out to be his out of control ego. This should be a valuable lesson to us all: keep your ego in check and realize that nothing is worth the loss of your reputation and freedom.

He pretty much acknowledged that he lacks empathy but is terrified that humans see that vulnerable part of himself that makes him not so human. He keeps talking abut his thoughts versus his feelings and then proceeds to look up. Thinking you're sad and feeling sad are not the same. One is body based and the other is cognitive. If he felt sad he would have a feeling sensation in the body and would look down to recall and locate his feelings.

@Brexit Monger he is not happy in jail because its over but for him im 100% sure it was worth it, esp since he got about 500 millions to his family and friends who will give him the best prison time of his life, big tv, own room, hookers every week... . but there are endless people who would trade 20 years with 400 millions for 20 years of jail afterwards.

Brexit Monger Madoff is giving his middle finger to the world. He ain't sad. He pulled off a great scam and thoroughly enjoyed it. Look at it this way. Madoff is locked up and safe from his enemies and public embarrassment of walking the streets. Prolly has some $ stashed somewhere. I don't think Mrs. Madoff is eating at McDonald's. Well maybe so the Feds will thnk she is broke.

@yonisali38792 жыл бұрын
It seems like his greed in not wanting partners to spread the workload and provide brakes beacuse he wanted it all to himself Is what got the ball rolling down the hill. I guess the fences and co-signs are all there for a reason. Also ppl can be exterminly intelligent in one sphere and be completely culeless in others to the point their intelligence serves their primal impulses and what they think they lack and want. In his case the validation and lights afforded to his super start clients was the euphoria that was missing forgetting his core intelligence was that of a brief and with no one there to remind him of his role there as co-sign he let all his latent desires for grand validation run riot.

@Brexit Monger I agree. There is going to come a day in the next 100 years, when people are going to suddenly realize that gold doesn't have much actual value, other than it is pretty to look at and doesn't rust. You can't eat it. It won't make your vehicle run. It won't help your crops grow. It provides no light, shelter, or warmth. It is a weak metal and has little structural value. Other than all of those deficiencies...its awesome, hela-shiny.
