Uma's Fiance Loses $230M Of Fund With Bernie Madoff

NY Post:

Uma Thurman's billionaire fiancé was scorched in Bernard Madoff's $50 billion boondoggle - and he's not buying the alleged con man's claim that he did it alone.

"For the amount of money and number of accounts, it's practically impossible that he was doing this alone," said Arpad "Arki" Busson, whose $11.5 billion group of Swiss hedge funds, EIM, has about $230 million invested with Madoff.

"What's mind-boggling is the amount of assets and the amount of time he was doing it."

I hope MADOFF will be assigned a "COURT APPOINTED LAWYER!"

I hope he can not use other people's Millions, stored OFF-SHORE, to hire a DOZEN Lawyers to fight for him so he never serves a day in prison.

He shows NO REGRETS or FEAR!

This is another ENRON with virtually NO ONE serving time!

Will he go after the Off-Shore Funds when released in a couple years?

Wow...handsome guy! Finally Uma....more of a gentleman for you....and wealthy too! You so deserve it.

I hike by your parents' place in upstate all the time....it's such a lovely area.

It's money that probably should have been paid in taxes through inheritance or normal federal taxes. Hedge fund is greed. He could have put that money anywhere

What!

I thought liberals hated the rich.

The trick is to get in at the top of the Ponzi sceme.

Some people put their ENTIRE income in that man's hands. Unbelievable!!! It was too good to be true. One investor said that too.

[patianneb]

From what I've read all of these investors weren't asking questions when their greed was being satisfied....
tough luck, Arki. Man up.

Sheesh, I hate that for them.

Boo hoo! At the end of the year, these people will still have roofs over their heads. In the meantime, millions of middle class Americans have already lost their homes.

Well, there goes the Vatican as a wedding after party location.

Hmmm, something tells me that Busson will be OK financially, even though he took a huge hit.
Laws need to change and fraud needs to be a punishable crime where the players go to jail for a very long time.

Am I the only one that COULD CARE LESS that rich people lost their a55 on a too good to be true scheme....­especially when you are talking about ridiculous amounts of money. How much cake do you need to stuff in your pig mouths before you gag. Simplicity and humility are much sexier...

[rektruax]

I'll go one better... I COULDN"T care less.

Some are not rich but lived comfortably. Now they've had to sell their homes and move in with relatives. At retirement age that is enough to make someone go bonkers.
