Bernie's Bollywood

Ike:

I got into town last week to start shooting the sequel to "Wall Street." As last minute as it might be, we've come up with a great idea.

I can offer you a walk-on cameo, or, given how good an actor you've proven to be, a scripted role.

Even though I read that gal Arvedlund's book on the story, we really don't have time to write in the full details of Bernie's escapade--but we're thinking that a quick "look-back" reference to the whole thing, one that has Picard issuing IOU's to claimants, and the IOU's can be redeemed in 10 years, and payable in US Savings bonds would be a master stroke of story-line genius..

Mike Douglas insists-and I agree, that we need to have that framed photo of Bernie on the wall of "Gekko's" new office; the cinematic effect is going to be absolutely brilliant!

Should we write out the check to you? to "Bernard & Ruth Madoff"? "Ruth Madoff"? , or perhaps someone else? Our finance people know that these little details can prove to be sticky, so we want to do it right. We don't want anyone returning checks and asking that they be re-written.

If you think there are some more indictments coming out over the next week or so, let me know--we'd want to make sure that our camera team captures the real-life immediate reactions.

Have your people call my people and we can set up a lunch.
