The big insider trading case back east has been interesting not so much for the money ($20 million in a Bernie Madoff world is not even chopped liver - it's the crackers), but rather for the 007-style touches (throwaway cellphones, a ring leader named "Octopussy" and so forth). Now there is another reason: the mother's defense of her son. The site Dealbreaker, which admittedly is not too subtle in its coverage of Wall Street, reached out to Dalia Goffer, mother of Zvi and Emanuel Goffer, who are both implicated in the case. Dalia was asked if she thought the FBI had arrested the wrong guys. Her response:
"low life................go get yourself a life....................are u eating your heart..............u can't kiss my sons ass hole [sic].......................because u so sick in your brain and so low....and if u don't stop bothering me I will contact the police."
So is that yes?
