The FBI arrested two computer programmers at their homes this morning on criminal charges that they provided technical support to falsify documents and trading records for swindler Bernard Madoff and took hush money to help keep the massive fraud going. The Food and Drug Administration is challenging makers of alcohol-infused energy drinks, issuing a letter today to 30 beverage manufacturers, giving them 30 days to provide evidence that the combination of caffeine and alcohol is safe. Some former bankers are planning to bid for failing banks in the Federal Insurance Deposit Corp auction process, and they're getting financial backing from Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs Group and Deutsche Bank AG. US consumer sentiment fell in early November amid a grim outlook for future job prospects, although separate data showing rising imports in September raised some hopes of renewed US economic growth Yesterday the staff of the California Energy Commission recommended licensing a new 540-megawatt power plant on the Carlsbad coast, over the objections of city officials, who dont want more heavy industry marring the beachfront.

benjaminfulford.typepad.com Chaos continues with 103 senior bankers murdered and over 1000 arrested The cabal that has controlled finance is fighting a desperate rear-guard action as the net continues to close around it. The death toll has now reached 103 bankers, most of them killed by the Bush Nazi cabal in order to silence them. Jeffry Picower, the Madoff associate found drowned in his pool was murdered by the cabal because he was a link between the Madoff funds and bribed politicians in Washington DC, according to MI6. He was held under water by operatives using rubber gloves in order to leave no evidence of foul play. Meanwhile the backers of the new banking system have arrested over 1000 bankers and charged them with fraud. Now that the October 27th deadline has past, the arrests will accelerate over the coming weeks and soon the members of the Cabal will have to start killing each other as they desperately try to shake off the investigative dragnet.

Salah Ezzedine, a Shia from southern Lebanon who has been dubbed the "Bernard Madoff" of his country, was arrested earlier this week when he filed for bankruptcy. The Lebanese businessman accused of defrauding investors in a Madoff-style Ponzi scheme is under investigation after turning himself in to authorities. Reports surfaced that he had squandered more than $1.5 billion of his clients' money, offerring interest rates as high as 55 per cent and that part of his clientele was from the oil-rich Gulf region. Al Jazeera's Amal Hamdan reports on the story of Mohammad Shour, one of Ezzedine's clients who decided to invest his family's savings but lost everything.

Bernie's lawyer asks for 138 year sentence cut! NEW YORK (AP) _ Bernard Madoff's lawyer has told a judge scheduled to sentence the disgraced financier next week that 12 years in prison will be sufficient punishment for the man who swindled tens of billions of investors' dollars in one of history's biggest frauds. But a Colorado woman who says her family was ruined financially by Madoff's thievery said a sentence that short might only work ``if he was hung by his toes'' the whole time. The 71-year-old Madoff faces up to 150 years in prison after pleading guilty on March 12 to 11 felony counts including securities fraud and perjury. He admitted operating a massive Ponzi scheme for decades. Federal sentencing guidelines call for Madoff to receive a life sentence. Madoff attorney Ira Sorkin said in court papers made public Tuesday that his client ``will speak to the shame he has felt and to the pain he has caused'' when US District Judge Denny Chin sentences him on Monday. ``We seek neither mercy nor sympathy,'' Sorkin wrote. But he urged Chin to ``set aside the emotion and hysteria attendant to this case'' as he determines the sentence. Sorkin said a sentence of a dozen years in prison would acknowledge Madoff's voluntary surrender, full acceptance of responsibility, meaningful cooperation efforts and the nonviolent nature of his crime. Still, the lawyer added that a prison term of 15 to 20 years would not disproportionately punish Madoff compared to sentences given other ...

(Note: Pelosi's bizarre eyes while being questioned)
While working for a Boston financial firm in 1999, Harry Markopolos says it took him five minutes to figure out that Bernard Madoff was a fraud. But the rest of the world wouldn't find out until Dec. 11, 2008, when Madoff was arrested and charged with running a Ponzi scheme now estimated at $65 billion. For nearly a decade prior, Markopolos had worked zealously to expose Madoff, but federal authorities never took his advice to mount an investigation. Now, everyone from officials in Congress and the FBI, to Hollywood movie producers, to 60 Minutes wants to hear from Markopolos, a Whitman resident since 1999. Last Friday, Markopolos sat down with The Enterprise for a half-hour interview on his Madoff investigation, his life in Whitman and his new-found fame. What follows is a portion of the interview, lightly edited.
Complete video at: fora.tv Rhonda Schwartz, ABC News producer, describes the findings of her investigative team as they watched Bernie Madoff while under house arrest. Schwartz recalls, "He was sitting there happily, having a little Perrier, working on his computer." ----- The theme of the 3rd Annual Logan Symposium on Investigative Reporting is on bribery and corruption and includes the world premiere of a new PBS Frontline documentary on bribery in international commerce. A series of high-profile panels focus on reporting about bribery and feature investigative reporters and producers, as well as federal prosecutors and whistleblowers. The Reporting on Domestic Corruption panel features Walt Bogdanich, The New York Times; Martin Reynolds, The Oakland Tribune; Rhonda Schwartz, ABC News; Mark Smith, WFAA Dallas; and Marcus Stern, ProPublica. David Boardman, The Seattle Times, moderates. - Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Rhonda Schwartz is a Senior Investigative Producer for ABC News.
