TPM features a couple of front page items reporting the incestuous financial dealings between Bernie Madoff's investment firm and the Security and Exchange Commission, including a link to a (sub. only) Wall Street Journal piece reporting internal SEC scrutiny of the relationship between Bernie Madoff's niece and chief securities compliance official Shana Madoff and former SEC senior inspections and compliance official Eric Swanson, who were married in 2007. 

Meanwhile, one of the philanthropic organizations taken down with the scandal is the Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation, a group that Ha'aretz describes as "a charity aimed at reversing assimilation and intermarriage...."

"The money needed to fund the programs of the Lappin Foundation is gone," the Massachusetts-based foundation said on its Web site, adding all staff had been let go. "It is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement," Robert I. Lappin, the foundation's trustee, said in a statement.

Funny, the name Eric Swanson doesn't sound Jewish....
