Madoff's Programmers Indicted
jason8 writes with news that two programmers who worked at Bernie Madoff's investment firm have now been indicted on charges of 'conspiracy, falsifying records of a broker-dealer and falsifying records of an investment adviser,' for their role in hiding the firm's activities (PDF) from the SEC and external accountants. Quoting Reuters:
"O'Hara and Perez, employed at the firm from 1990 and 1991, respectively, were primarily responsible for developing and maintaining computer programs in the investment advisory unit at the center of the fraud. Many of the programs were run on an IBM server known as 'House 17,' according to court documents. Prosecutors said the men took hush money to help keep the fraud going and designed codes to make up fake trade blotters and phantom records. US prosecutors said the two men worked under the supervision of Madoff and his top aide, Frank DiPascali, to deceive the US Securities and Exchange Commission and a European accounting firm. DiPascali is cooperating with prosecutors, who said his information led to the arrests of the programmers and the now defunct firm's outside accountant."
That if they're actually guilty of helping pull this stuff off then fuck them but then I'm reminded if they get convicted that's probably actually going to happen to them.
Did you know 80 to 90% of the moderators on slashdot wouldn't recognize a troll even if one dragged them under a bridge.
oh, frist psot.
I had a sig, but
What would you expect from an Eyetie but to split on others to save his own greasy nigger skin.
You know, I read a lot. Especially about things that have to do with history. I find that shit fascinating. Here's a fact, I don't know if you know or not, Eyeties were spawned by niggers.
It's a fact. You see, Eyeties have black blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you see, the Moors conquered Italy. And Moors are niggers.
So you see, way back then, Eyeties were like the wops from Southern Switzerland. They all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, well, then the Moors moved in there, and well, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with Eyetie women that they changed the whole bloodline forever. That's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. You know, it's absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that Eyetie's still carry that nigger gene.
If they wrote the fraudulent code but released it under the GPL, is it still "evil"?
