Any Bets?

Anyone want the over-under on this guy's name getting as much traction as Bernie Madoff?

Ex-Clinton aide indicted for ‘stealing’ millions

NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors have charged a wealthy fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other top Democrats in an alleged $292 million pyramid scheme that spanned more than a decade, saying he used some of the proceeds to support election campaigns.

In an indictment returned Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Iranian-born Hassan Nemazee is charged with bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Granted, the amount of money stolen pales in comparison to that of Madoff. However, it's telling that this guy had his fingers into everything - it does beg the question of would his scheme have gone on so long if he hadn't been donating money to the right people? Lest we forget, Mr. Nemazee was John effin' Kerry's financial manager during his 2004 run. No wonder John had to mortgage his house...

And, for a final "double or nothing", anyone want to bet on this:

He used some of the proceeds of the fraud to make donations to the election campaigns of federal, state and local candidates as well as to political action committees and charities, prosecutors said. They didn't name the candidates or groups.

How many Republicans or right-leaning groups are on this list? I'm guessing 0, because had there been even one the title of the article would read: "GOP Donor Pulls a Madoff"


That is all.
