79: Something is Amiss in Gitmo and Crackpot Nations
Bernie Madoff Guilty Plea, International Financial Court Proposal
Bernie Madoff pleaded guilty to all 11 charges related to his $67 billion Ponzi scheme, leading to speculation about his sentencing and safety. A theory is presented that the complexity of the case will be used as a pretext to establish an International Financial Court (IFC) backed by the IMF and World Bank. The law firm McCarter & English, which represents whistleblower Harry Markopoulos, is identified as a primary advocate for this new global judicial body.
