Karma, anyone?

It's not nice to gloat over anyone's misfortune, particularly that of a charitable foundation, but it is okay to note that caught up in the Madoff scam is Steven Spielberg. Doubtless, he will instruct the federal government to forget pressing charges and seeking restitution because he doesn't want to hold a grudge. At least, that's my guess based on his past pronouncements to us.

I don't believe in Karma. But this is tragic. These charitable foundations were counting on this money to help people .... this doesn't hurt Spielberg. It hurts those who don't have gazillions of dollars out there.... as well as those that have lost their life savings .... tragic!

Cigar Mike, it is tragic, just as what happened to Cuba was tragic.

Ruth that's true, but they are unrelated in all respects.

You are right, Mike; they are unrelated. However, I think Ruth has a point in wondering if Spielberg will stand up and defend those less fortunate than he who stood to benefit from his charitable foundation that has been bilked out of billions, or will he tell those poor souls to forget about it and let bygones be bygones, like he expects the Cubans to do with the Castro regime.

Something tells me he will NOT be turning the other cheek with this tragedy as he expects the Cuban people to do so with their tragedy.
