Thats What I Say

To quote Forrest Gump  ”Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.”  That is very true. Sometimes what you get is royally screwed. The author of Forrest Gump and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button got screwed out of his royalties and everything else in the Madoff/Ponzi scheme debacle.    Eric Roth who earned millions from Forrest Gump (both book and movie) found out on the same day that he was nominated for a Golden Globe award that he had lost all of his retirement savings due to Madoff.  He is suing his financial advisor and probably be one of many plaintiffs in the sure to be numerous suits against the swindling Madoff who is currently out on bail. I can’t imagine that Madoff acted alone and kept all of this huge scam a profitable secret for so long. I think that more people will be arrested and unfortunately I also think that very few of the victimized investors will recoup much of their lost money.  To quote Forrest Gump again  “sometimes I guess there just aren’t enough rocks. “
