Madoff’s underground connection with Judge Ellis exposed

The SEC caught wind that over the holidays Madoff and his wife tried to mail his sons what could be up to $1 million in goods, (mostly jewelry), and they are upset to say the least. Monday, the SEC called a hurried court hearing in which they asked the judge to immediately revoke his bail and send him straight to jail for the remainder of his trial.

But not so fast. According to Honorable Ronald L. Ellis, the decision is not so black and white. In fact, today is Friday Jan. 9th, and we are still waiting for a ruling. But before I comment on as to why I think this ruling is taking so long, I want to take a peak at Judge Ellis’ resume.
He has a B.A. degree in chemical engineering from Manhattan College (1972). He got his J.D. from New York University in 1975. He worked for a short time as a Patent Attorney after being admitted into the Patent Bar. In 1976 he began working for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. and stayed there up until 1993 when he was appointed as a magistrate judge.
*** and ***
So, as Madoff sits silently behind the desk looking up at the honorable Judge Ellis, I guarantee you he is not as nervous as everyone thinks he might be. Why? Because he knows that, regardless of the fines he receives, or the money that is taken from him, the Honorable Ronald L. Ellis will see to it that Madoff never steps foot inside a jail cell for as long as he lives.

[JR: I didn’t know about the Jasper on the bench. And, this sounds very much like a “hit piece”. I’m sure the Jasper Jottings attorney pro bono might have something to say about such “barbara streisand” (i.e., innuendo, slander, libel, defamation). Betcha the writer doesn’t know that a fellow (eighty year plus) Jasper and his wife may be tossed out of their nursing home due to their losses with Madoff. I bet if Madoff’s lawyer knew that he’d be asking for a substitute. Sad. Sad to is the character assassination that passes for blogging these days.]
