Do the writers at NY Times simply not know he deliberately ran a fake exchange and quite literally stole money from people?
Or is someone with deep pockets influencing things?
Either way, a totally horrible look for NY Times
- pessimizer 4y agoHe's not even going to be the worst person speaking at the event, by far.
- rossdavidh 4y agoI don't know, I think he is undoubtedly a newsworthy individual, and if it is true that he is not receiving a speaker's fee, I think it makes sense for them to keep him on the agenda.
- dadoge 4y agoBernie Madoff is also a newsworthy individual
- michaericalribo 4y agoAnd it would be in the public interest to have Madoff on a public panel forum. Democratization of information, open platforms, etc
- HWR_14 4y agoAnd if Madoff agreed to an interview the month his scheme collapsed the NYT would publish it too. In fact, the NYT did publish the first post-arrest interview with Madoff as soon as he agreed to one.
- dibt 4y agoIt was already scheduled, but also why wouldn’t they want him to appear? It’s an on going story. They’re obviously not endorsing crime or fraud. They’d interview Bernie Madoff the week he was caught too.
