Exclusive Jewish country club feels the sting of Madoff fraud
Palm Beach Country Club, founded by Jews in the 1950s, prides itself on members' upstanding character and charity.
To get accepted as a member at the Palm Beach Country Club - founded by Jews during the 1950s when other clubs in the exclusive resort town were restricted - you have to be more than rich. You have to be a real mensch, a person of character.
And the way to prove that is to show that you contribute a fortune every year to charity.
Bernard Madoff passed that test long ago, something his fellow members have suddenly come to regret.
Prosecutors say Madoff preyed on club members, scamming them for millions of dollars and betraying the trust that is so valued inside the walls of the exclusive club.
Ninety-five-year-old Carl J. Shapiro, who thought of Madoff as a son and vouched for him with many fellow club members, told the Palm Beach Daily News that the revelations of Madoff's trickery were like a knife in the heart.
"I think people felt that way, that he was part of the family. That's even worse," says Richard Bernstein, who has insured the assets of several club members. "A lot of people knew him for a long time. They didn't just meet him yesterday."
Even by the princely standards of this barrier island resort, the reported $300,000 initiation fee at the Palm Beach Country Club is phenomenal. But people like Madoff can't just buy their way in. They must also prove themselves worthy.
Before a prospective member is admitted, they must demonstrate a history of annual charitable giving of at least the amount of that membership fee, says Palm Beach accountant Richard Rampell, who has many clients and friends at the club. And a substantial portion of that giving has to have been to Jewish charities, he says.
And, believe me, there are people there that can do that with ease, the Palm Beach man says. And that's sort of the common thread, common denominator for these people. They have to be philanthropic before they'll let them in.
At one time, Wall Street money man had been considered worthy of membership. His $19 million foundation gave to various Jewish and civic causes in New York and elsewhere.
In the end, the many millions allegedly swindled from country club members are a small fraction of the overall total. But the closeness of this community and the damage done to its charitable work make the betrayal here all the more shocking.
Situated on the Atlantic Ocean and sequestered behind high, immaculately trimmed hedges, the Palm Beach Country Club is a place born out of anti-Semitic prejudice.
The resort was built in 1916 by the Florida East Coast Co. on the site of a former gun club. It quickly became one of the most popular venues in Palm Beach.
Families with names like Whitney, Peabody and Hutton came to enjoy the ocean breezes and play the challenging 18-hole, Donald Ross-designed golf course.
Despite their wealth and accomplishments, the area's Jewish residents were not welcome at these Christian establishments. So in 1952, a group of investors purchased the club for a reported $1 million and redesigned the clubhouse with a slate roof and stucco exterior punctuated by rows of stately arched windows.
Among the founding members was Ukrainian-born cigar mogul Samuel Paley, father of media magnate William S. Paley. Turned down at other clubs, Irish Catholic Joseph Kennedy exacted a gleeful revenge, according to one author, when the club took him in.
Country clubs are famous as places where large business deals are worked out with a handshake on the sixth tee. Because of its history, Rampell says this kind of country club investing was especially prevalent along Ocean Boulevard.
Rampell first came in contact with Madoff's investment firm back in 1985, when one of his clients invested $5 million with the part-time Palm Beacher. As he recalled, the client was introduced to Madoff by Shapiro or a member of his family.
When the investment had grown to about $10 million, the client decided he didn't want so much of his net worth concentrated with just one portfolio manager, which is what Mr. Madoff was basically. So he began taking his income out at the end of every year.
"As I recall, it was around 17 or 18 percent back then," says Rampell. And so he would take out $1.7 million a year or whatever the amount.
Rampell says the client would ask for more every once in a while, just to check up on Madoff.
"He might say, 'I want $3 million or $4 million out,'" the accountant says. "And he'd always get his distributions timely and his redemptions timely. So there was never any indication that there would be any kind of problem with this."
Rampell once asked Madoff how he did it. The New Yorker gave an enigmatic reply: "I can make money when the market goes up. I can make money when the market goes down. I cannot make money when the market stays flat."
"It led me to believe he was doing some kind of day-trading," says Rampell. "And, of course, at the end of every year we'd get the client statements, and...he would always close out all the accounts, all the securities accounts, and just put all the money in Treasury bills at the end of the year. That's what he would always do. That's what the paper showed."
Over the years, the minimum investment with Madoff would grow from $1 million to $5 million to $10 million, Rampell says. As the returns stayed steady, Rampell says, a little bit of a mystique grew around Madoff at the club.
You had to know someone to invest. And all of the money was handled through individual accounts.
"It was almost like you were getting let into the club of investors, and everybody wanted to be in," says Rampell, who was offered, but never accepted, a chance to invest. "He was like, 'Oh, wow! You've got a Madoff account.'"
As it turned out, those who opted out of Madoff's exclusive club were the lucky ones.
According to prosecutors, Madoff told employees last week that his fund had been insolvent for years, and it was basically an elaborate Ponzi scheme, using money paid in by new investors to pay off others. The damage stretches around the globe, affecting individuals, banks and charities.
Perhaps nowhere was the concentration of loss - both financial and personal - greater than at the Palm Beach Country Club, not far from Madoff's $9.4 million home. Some reports say as many as a third of the club's 300 or so members had money invested with Madoff.
"I'm really beside myself because of all of this," Madoff investor Carol Feinberg Cohen, 80, a club member who has a home in the same guarded development as Carl Shapiro, told The Associated Press Wednesday in a brief telephone conversation.
Shapiro, who made his fortune in textiles, told the local paper he's known Madoff for nearly five decades. Madoff sat at the family table at Shapiro's 95th birthday party, traveled with him and even played with his great-grandchildren.
"I'll never believe this, what he did to people," Shapiro's wife, Ruth, told the paper. "Some are completely wiped out. They have nothing left. Nothing."
In the scandal's wake, Shapiro and his son-in-law, Robert Jaffe, say they are as much victims of Madoff as anyone else and trying to prevent the smear of his misdeeds from tainting their own reputations.
The Jaffes and the Shapiros were viewed as among Madoff's closest friends and were, therefore, asked to make introductions to Madoff, family publicist Carey O'Donnell said Wednesday in a statement issued to the AP. Neither Mr. Jaffee or Mr. Shapiro ever recruited investors on Madoff's behalf.
Rampell says none of his clients was wiped out financially. But he says they've lost something even more precious than money - their willingness to trust has been compromised.
"It's the Madoff maelstrom," he says. "I did hear a lot of people say, 'Yes. Madoff. He made off with all of our money.'"

This lecture hall is at the University of Michigan and the professor is Dr. Perry Samson, founder of LectureTools, the newest addition to the Echo360 Active Learning Platform. And while the students appear to be distracted by technology, they are actually doing something not quite visible to the naked eye. They are participating. In the age of active learning, interaction is the name of the game. According to Dr. Samson, "if you give students the opportunity to participate they will". Join us for this complimentary event to learn how the Active Learning Platform: Engages and energizes today's social student by leveraging mobile devices to ask confidential questions during class, take personal notes, and collaborate with other students Provides instructors and teaching assistants with the opportunity to respond globally to popular questions during class Measures learning as it happens and provides insights into student comprehension Enables the 12 benefits of Active Learning like the flipped classroom, distance learning and MOOCs Who Should Attend: Instructional Technologists and Designers, Faculty, Deans and Academic Administrators, and CIOs.

The Jewish cult is tottering and is on its last legs.
Anyway which sane and civilized person would want a cult based on demon worship, whose contribution to the march of civilization is zero, in existence except evil people?

Not anymore and in the past too it was more token than anything else. As soon as I discovered its demonic roots, I threw away the vestiges of tokenism as well.
I am not part of any cult or faith as I leave such perverse affiliations to retards and to those with a tribal mindset.
I am too intelligent and have too many inner experiences that far exceed the narrow and perverse scope of evil scriptures like Tanakh or NT to be part of any tribal cult or formal religion.
I consider myself a secular cosmic citizen and lay full emphasis on being and becoming leading to self-realization.

Living does not mean "controlling land"....some people of every faith are living in every country, that does not mean people start dividing lands for them.
The world powers made "exception" for Jews and only Jews. In no other case they gathered people of a faith from all over the world and created a "nation" for them.
It was a bad site selection and the world would continue to face the repercussion for it for all times.
Most act of terrorism in the world are related one way or other to that poor site selection.

Let us explore in a logical manner the events that follow death:
What could happen in the disembodied state to the consciousness and energy of the dead person?

What are the basal constituents of the universe in all its dimensions?
Mumbai, India
#50028 Mar 10, 2013
With the advent of quantum mechanics, we have come to recognize that events cannot be predicted with complete accuracy but that there is always a degree of uncertainty. In modern times, we have redefined the aim of science which is to formulate a set of laws that enables us to predict events only up to the limit set by the uncertainty principle.
On many occasions we have increased the sensitivity of our measurements or made a new class observations, only to discover new phenomena that were not predicted by the existing theory, and to account for these we have had to develop a more advanced theory. It would therefore not be very surprising if the present generation of grand unified theories was wrong in claiming that nothing essentially new will happen between the electroweak unification energy of about 100GeV and the grand unification energy of about a thousand million million GeV. We might indeed expect to find several new layers of structure more basic than the quarks and electrons that we now regard as elementary.
However, it seems that gravity may provide a limit to this sequence of boxes within boxes. If one had a particle with an energy above what is called the Planck energy, ten million million million GeV, its mass would be so concentrated that it would cut itself off from the rest of the universe and form a little black hole. Thus it does seem that the sequence of more and more refined theories should have some limit as we go to higher and higher energies, so that there should be some ultimate theory of the universe.
1) Are there gradations of energy or are there gradations of only consciousness?
2) If consciousness and energy form a unified field as they necessarily should so as to cogently explain the cycles of manifestation-dissolution, sentience, order, purpose, matter and stability then how does one explain the finer states of existence in terms of the subtler dimensions of consciousness-energy after perusing Dr Stephen Hawking's views as posted above?

Oh, so Jews are welcome back into their land as long as they dont "control" i.e. own land? Do realize how arrogant that sounds?
"The world powers made "exception" for Jews and only Jews. In no other case they gathered people of a faith from all over the world and created a "nation" for them..." Oh - so there are NO islamic countries?
Jews are the source of terrorism? Arent you willfully ignoring the role of Political Islam?(no need to reply on this one - it is too self evident to be worthy of bandwith).

When any one wants to "re-enter" any country which he or she leaves due to any reason for sufficiently long time, they do need a VISA to enter it, is that not a NORMAL Norm?
Jews could enter into Palestine after getting proper VISAS.
I just do not know where you are leading with such type of arguments.
In no way you will find justification for "Palestine belongs to Jews" which ever way you try, unless of course you argue "God gave it to Abraham" for an ever lasting possession."
And even then Children of Ishmael would have an inheritance in it!!
You were shocked that I linked Jews with terrorism? Isreal is the main center of International Terrorism since its inception and Jews were involved in terrorism, much before the state of Isreal came into existence in 1948.

rabbee: denial of any prophecy in the process of coming true, only means you are being untrue about it. so you are either making muhammed and all-h look like a liar, or you, muhammed, and all-h are all all a lie. since the multitudes are returning to Ysrael, just as predicted. and it is specificly timed, at the arribial of both me and the woman here in TheTorah again.
#50039 Mar 11, 2013
rabbee: you are calling the most terrorized group, on earth the terrorists? is there any other group on earth, that has not been involved in terrorizing and persecuting the multitudes.
what are you, stupid? the were terrorized by the egyptians, they were terrorized by the babeloneans, they were terrorized by the greek, they were terrorized by the romans, they were terrorized by the christians, they have been and are still being terrorized by the islamists. there is not one country in this world, that the multitudes have not been terrorized in.
and now you claim, that when they finally bring more than their helplist to a gunfight. they automaticly become, the terrorist? sounds to me, like you have been listing to terrorist propaganda against them. cause it sure does not admit, to the actual truth.
you are not any where, close to the truth on this one. as the fact is, they would not be returning to Ysrael. unless it has already been, commanded to Happen by G-D. and this is one of the few times, in history. that G-D has given them, the right to defend themselves.

text: My husband and I stayed at The Betsy to get some sunshine and a break for a quick get-a-way (3 days). Cute lobby, enclosed pool, clean room with great tolietries. Not too modern like other nearby hotels and smaller feel. Beach is right across the street and we spent most of our time there. Roof top terrace great to enjoy the early evening. Small work out room but good running path along the beach. We enjoyed the location.

Pell Grants for Prisoners? Obama Says Yes

For the 2014 class the defensive tackle position is a bit of a head scratcher as it is not a deep, talented pool as in years past. Because of this the Sooners have their work cut out for them trying to find players who can be difference makers at the position. That hasn't stopped, and perhaps has prodded, Oklahoma from getting a jump on the 2015 class having already offered three prospects at the position, one of them being Jacob Daniel of Fresno (Calif.) Clovis North.
It was back in April that the offer was extended to the 6-foot-5 and 300-pound prospect, who was not expecting it after having spotted defensive coordinator, Mike Stoops while heading to practice that day.
"This one came from out of nowhere. I was staying the night at one of my friend's houses, we go to practice and I look out the car and I was like 'is that Mike Stoops?' and then I saw him and met him later," Daniel stated.

I think of Goop right away when I hear Apple used as a name (and I'm not a very big fan of hers - to say the least). However, I don't mind the name and I think it would make a quite lovely middle name (I think it's too out-there as a first). In terms of celebrity baby names, it's not nearly as horrific as Jermajesty, Rainbow or Bluebell.
I also totally stand behind the idea of using Pomeline as a possible substitute. It's a wonderful name.Zelia • XXI • History student • Film and royalty enthusiastI blog at vesperlynds and everythingroyalty, and export names from Greenland and Inuit mythology

I honestly totally love Apple! I loved it before Gwyneth Paltrow had anything to do with it. I used to name the daughter in my Sim family "Mary Apple". Did anyone else play that game? If I were to use it in real life, I would probably use it as a middle name like that. I wouldn't be brave enough to put it first. My hubby turned it down, though. Coincidentally, our daughter's middle name is Lucille after my grandmother, too.
I like the suggestions of Opal/Opaline, Pomona (nn Apple), Poppy, and Bryony. You could also just switch it to Lucille Apple instead. Lucy Apple is cute!

I have to agree with some of the comments. If I met baby Apple I would think you were a big Gwyneth Paltrow (barf) fan. She ruined the name for everyone, sorry.
What do you like about the name? It's very simple and sweet, nature inspired but unusual.
How about:
Calla-- Love Calla Lucille Rowe!

ruins of a city by zhangcWatch

i do cost a lot of time for this. concept is told about a dust city by future war something like that.
very impressive~
In a way, it's so calming to know that everyone and everything will die someday. Nice work!
Your technique is very impressive. However, it doesn't look like these are old ruins, they look almost recent. In fact, they look like the pictures from the 2011 Japan Tsunami (but maybe it's on purpose?).

How Many Is Too ManyI was very sexually active in my early twenties and I have recently discovered that the number of my past sexual partners is considered by most to be very high. I want to know how many sexual partners is considered too many. No flowery comments just numbers people. I am not ashamed and seeking peace. I am just curious. So chime in and lets hear some numbers.
For most people, more than 5 or 10 is a lot - too many! But to use high sexed people, it;s not even getting started.
It's all about what is right for you. If it feels good to you (and it is not hurting anyone else) then go for it and enjoy. No one else has the right to tell you what that number should be.
How many is too many? I see you only used words to describe on the high side. What's your number???? It's ok, I'm smiling for you already...
Interesting. At lunch a half dozen of us (wild & crazy) girls sat & worked out the mathametic problem. (not that it was a problem at all).
Each of us is now in our 30's from the same overall area; we all talk about (sex) this stuff on a regular basis. Each of us went to college, was very 'ACTIVE' with relationships & did not get married until sometime after college was finished.
What a great topic. The laughter at the table was louder than ever & constant throughout lunch.
"Total honesty now, write your best estimate number down on a napkin & drop it in this box. There are no winners, there are no loosers, so come on now do your best remberiance & analysis".
Were not looking for the total sex acts, we want the total # of different male and/or female partners you preformed the sex act with. Not just kissing & holding hands but the real thing. Include each & every male/female partner from your first all the way up to your last (your husband if that is so ///// even more laughter came out)
We could tell we are from a new era of sexual female characters in our society.
The range of active years (from teenager until now..including each of us) is pretty constant, between 16 to 21 years of activity.
Our numbers (best/honest calculations) ranged from 55 to 235
Wow, our faces were red but we loved every minute of it!!!!!!
Lot doffing and enjoyment. There is never enough
I sleepwalk, and apparently sleep...other things as well. If it weren't for a friend at the end of freshman year of college, I would not be aware of it, just think that when I crashed in chicks dorms, they gave me strange smiles in the morning, or there was a big rush because their boyfriend was visiting.
I am ashamed to admit that I have lost count! College was very good to me and ever since I turned 35, I have found my sex drive to have increased
age 66 and only had 4 guess I blew it someplace
For me - over 100
My wife-50 men & 20 women
Stepsister 100 men & 25 women
Mother was over 100
Former fiancé over 300
Our hair stylist claims 1000 men mostly oral.
All these are over 50 yrs old.
****. You guys are ****** lmaoo
Well.. Okay I've been with my boyfriend for over a year. But I am young.. And so far I have slept with 7 guys total. I have friends my age that have slept with double that. Like, 14 and 18 partners.. You are a grown woman. I would say like 30 partners is normal for your age and a life time. Lmao. It sounds like alot.. But it's not really...
It is totally time dependent...four a year when single seems to be about the typical average...I was at 6 by the time freshmen year finished and was around 20 by the time college was done...now I'm around 50.
Lol.. I'm single now.
Ain't no TOO MANY.
My wife was a virgin when we married but she made up for lost time afterwards. She averaged 5 or 6 guys a year for 25 years or so but it has slowed to 2 or 3 over the last 5 years.
I'm a fan of variety. With that being said, it's a lot easier for a girl to **** when ever she wants than it is for a guy ;)
I'm 30 years old and somewhere around 150. I actually remembered all their names until 75...
Let me add one more to your total.
About 8-10 per yr for the last 30 yrs and still enjoy every new experience....
30-40 wonderful ladies... I dunno, that never seemed like enough, lol.
For Asian, 10 partners in one's whole life is also considered high.
well if my wife had 150 before we were married that would be great, but to bad not so. I think the more a person can learn and the more fun they have the better it is.
Age should be part of the number. If you are 18, and you have had 30 lovers, that is high. If you are 40 and have been single for most of your adult life, 30 isn't high.
I would say if you have had more than one lover per month past the age of 20, you have had too many lovers.
Well over 100 stopped counting long ago
55 females! And growing!
There are never too many. A person learns from every experience!
At present maybe 150 female & 30 male (both ways for males) and planning to add lots more as everything in good working order and according to the vast majority of partners well worth the effort
150 +, what can i say i like to ****
16 intercourse, (14 women and two men), given one blow job and received a blow job from the same guy, I can name 12 of those 16, the others were prostitutes in another country. Have made out with 150+ other women and 10 or so men. I think my biggest issue personally isn't the number as much as will I be able to satisfy my partner and so far never been with one that didn't ask for seconds. They say I am very gentle and attentive and that is what means the most to them, in conclusion I think over 25 is above ave and over 50 is a lot. Just my opinion and I am 38 and traveled for 16 years of my life
150ish my gf's says she's been with 70
Hello Sexy,

Top of the day to you.My take on your subject is a simple but logical view.

The fact of the matter is that you are your own boss.Its your body and your p***y.Use it as much as you like.Whats the sense having some thing & not exploring it to its fulles potential.
After the birth of my son I began my life of promiscuity. I have had an average of three different man a week, no names, no phonecalls, no dates afterwards. I'm not an accountant but it must be about 585. I don't know if that's many or to many. It's not my intentions to be the greatest **** on your list.
Good for you. You go girl
you got do what u love,
honestly - 12 - 2 i was monagamous with for over 20 yrs . much more action now. divorced and sexually active and happy !
I had 2 so u go girl.
100 is very high...but could you add just one more?
25-30 and want you to be 31. If your ***** still works, who cares?
By the time I was 25 it was close to 20 women, by 30 it was closer to 50. For my wife by 25 she had sex with over 50 men and by age 30 probably close to 150.
numbers dont matter
numbers dont matter
50 is my number, as per request

0, still a virgin!!! and I'm out of college.
many........i didnt count. if i start counding i maybe miss someone......
Anything over 100.
~18 here.

I have to add the ~ because in college it was discovered that I have sex in my sleep.

Many consider 14+ to be too high, but then again it's age-relative.

50-100+ in my book is too high, but then again I've a number of friends who chide me for passing up 'sure things.'
holly, i agree totally with, no such thing as not enough sex, good lord made *****, and ive given a home to over 100
I won't say my exact number, but it's in the single digits.

But, for you, I don't think any number is necessarily too high or too low. We all go through relationships and so few people are lucky enough to find the perfect person in their first partner. I mean, even if people seem perfect, they might just not be perfect for us, so I don't think being with people (emotionally, sexually, or otherwise) is a bad thing--it just shows you're willing to keep trying until you meet someone you like!

And, besides, sex is a natural desire/need. I don't think you should be ashamed for being human! (As long as you play it safe!)
Even though you said just numbers, I actually like this response.
12 and counting. Only 2 were non-repeaters
520 - That would mean you would have changed your sexual partner every week while being in your twenties. That sounds way too much to me ;)
183, no record setting here, but fun.
I have had over 30 sexual partners, but I don't consider that too many.
As long as you are happy with your sexuality and yourself, there is no "number".
I don't keep count, but over 10 years ago when I lived in Louisiana, my GF at the time had me count them and it was over 30. So, its more than that now.
see you are letting others tell you how to be

we each have to be what god made us
I stopped counting at 100...That was around 1980

who cares..if it feels good ..do it..LOL
I've had a few but I think the number that is right is whatever you think. Not what others think. I have a sister who is a professional escort and she has probably had in the 60-80 range. She says she can't think of a better job.
I agree with hollysub as many as you want go for gold.
Roghly 300 something, I have it written down, every time I have sex I keep track of it, I do love the club hook ups I can't help it.
To be honest as long as you're comfortable with the number who cares what other people think. Some people have told me that I have had sex with too many people but I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm still as active as I was in my late teens and early twenties so it's up to you.
if i was you Lsu i wouldn;t wory about it :) its none of anyones business but yours & thats how it should be
