Just when we thought the Bernard Madoff scandal couldn't get any more sordid, we now find that he was also schtupping the Chief Financial Officer of the Jewish Zionist organization "Hadassah" on the side, according to her recent kiss-and-tell book. Of course, now that her "gains" (and theirs) have turned into losses, she calls him a monster.

"The memoir, "Madoff's Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie, and Me," was written by Sheryl Weinstein, whose relationship with Madoff spanned more than 20 years while both were married... [They met] when she was chief financial officer for the charitable women's organization Hadassah, where she had a role in investment decisions...

The book has drawn fresh attention to Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. The organization has said its principal investment with Madoff totaled about $33 million, while another $7 million had been entrusted to Madoff after it was donated by a French backer in 1988. Hadassah did not return a telephone call for comment Friday.

Stanley Epstein, a Santa Monica, Calif., lawyer married to a Hadassah member, said Hadassah's treasurer told him after Madoff's December arrest that the organization had cashed in between $120 million and $130 million from its Madoff accounts over the years. The profits could make the organization a target of those seeking to recover money to be distributed to defrauded investors." -- Huffington Post

Mrs. Weinstein whines about how her family was "devastated" by the loss of the money, but apparently not by her 20-year long adulterous affair with the kosher Manhattan swindler. Such paragons of virtue!

It is divine retribution that so many Zionist organizations have suddenly lost their fortunes, walking in their own ways and trusting their own hubris, instead of respecting the one in whose name they claim to operate.
