Bernie Madoff: Where is the f**king boat?
And why did Charles Wiener and Leonard Mayer charge Worldnet ATT dialup service on the BMIS Amex account? I asked a purported former BMIS IT employee and he said he remembered some talk about dialup service. He also said Wiener and Mayer had no reason to transmit anything between the office and home.
The Amex bills show a $21.95 charge for Worldnet ATT service on Wiener's account in Janaury 2008 but not July and August.
Mayer's account shows the Worldnet ATT charge in January and July.
I have no idea when the two of them signed up for the service.
Wiener is Bernie's nephew and was BMIS director of administration. What the hell did Wiener do all day? He moved from Dix Hills to Centerport and he needed dialup service? Broadband was available on Long Island in 1998. His wife is a lawyer.
Leonard Mayer is one-half of Mayer & Schweitzer which had a number of FINRA violations, according to FINRA's BrokerCheck. I think, but I'm not sure, that Charles Schwab bought M&S in the early '90s which makes me wonder what kind of outfit Schwab is. It apparently tolerated M&S's shady practices.
Someone told me that Merrill Lynch bought M&S for $500 million but I can't find any record of it. Sounds fishy to me.
Lennie Mayer joined BMIS in 2001, according to his FINRA file. Mayer lives on Sutton Place so he has some big bucks. I was told Mayer was as computer literate as Bernie.
There could be a perfectly reasonable explanantion as to why Wiener and Mayer both had Worldnet ATT dialup service. Maybe it is a coincidence that no one seems to know what both of them did all day.
On the other hand, transmitting data via dialup leaves less of a trail than broadband.
Hmm...
While it may not be the answer to everything it is important to note that the provisions of a Hidden Treuhand allow corporations or wealthy people with expensive and sophisticated accountants and lawyers off shore, to move about and hide the existence of money, and also assets, like boats, cars, building, other businesses, subsidiaries, and on and on.
Hidden Treuhands can also allow those same weasels to hide relationships between pools of money, businesses, and people. Hidden Treuhands can allow them to hide the true identity of stockholders, CEO's, corporate officers, board members, consultants, or others receiving payouts from a corporation.
Is it legal? No in the U.S. it is not. It is legal however in certain European countries and may be accessed by those in the know in American corporations and wealthy individuals as described above, with the use of informed and clever accountants and a lawyer in the necessary European country.
A Hidden Treuhand makes it dang near impossible to track the assets, money or people. Lots of luck.
