Bob, you are a good friend, so please understand how I reply here. You wrote, “
“We all have our secrets, our addictions, anyone, and I mean nobody is perfect, not even the pope.”

No.

Of course we are not perfect. In fact if you look in the dictionary under “imperfect” you will find my picture next to it.

My addictions are chocolate and home theatre. My secrets don’t include illegal drugs, murder, or cheating at Jeopardy. You cannot compare “causal” secrets with committing fraud like what Bernie Madoff did.

I have done a great many thing I am not proud of, or willing to admit, but not at the level, the extreme level done by some others. To put everyone in eh same basket is wrong.

To be judgmental is wrong and harmful. To have standards is not. Children of the 1960s continue to confuse that. Everyone opinion is equal, every choice has the same value. Not true. Some choices are bad and harmful.

We are nothing to compare to others but to our own one selves.

... This guy made 4 MAC withdraws that same day to buy $1200 worth of smack. Gee, maybe we should blame the MAC Machine that did not limit him to $300 per day?

I thought that it was six of them, each one for $200. ...That would make $200 the maximum amount allowable to withdraw per each transaction.

Most MAC machines to the best of my knowledge have a $300 withdraw limit. Over my years of banking, that has been the daily limit as well. However you want to slice it, now it's his Bank that is responsible for allowing him to withdraw that much in 1 day. The MAC Machine by association.

Again, I know only what I have read in the last few weeks about this guy, but if he was such the idol, where were his friends and family? Was this the first day since his early 20s that he poked holes in his arm?
