Condolences to The Cohns. Sonny Was A Great Bagman!

To: Marilyn & Marcia
From: Bernie Madoff

My sincere condolences. Sonny was a swell guy, and with his long time friendship and business partnership, he helped swell our wallets and helped fill the fuel tank for our flights on the "CohMad 1" jet to Switzerland..Those were the days!

I think about him often and still keep this photo in my wallet!

I will always remember his dedication to the causes that mattered most (his bank account) and his determination to make sure you girls always lived like queens. And, that donation to North Shore Hospital was a true masterpiece of self-serving PR philanthropy--I won't stop laughing over the fact that your name sits over the front entrance to the emergency room entrance with a big sign that displays "Marilyn and Maurice Cohn Trauma Center." Talk about poetic irony! Brilliant!!

Trust me when I tell you there are still lots of folks over at Glen Oaks and Boca Rio who would love to know how he stayed above the fray and managed to not only avoid the silver bracelets, but how he persevered and never paid a dime towards the SEC's judgment and how for the past seven years, and until the day he passed, he managed to get one court delay after another without forking over a penny to Irv Picard.

Some of the great stories that we will all remember include the following snippets:
1. Not everyone gets an eternal mention in Wikipedia!

2. How many of us get top billing with ABC News?? 

3. And that house in Amagansett? A beauty!! What a great ROI too!

4. One of the best settlements in history. He proved what I always knew about those muppets at the SEC!

5. Duck and Jab. Duck and Jab. He was like a champion prizefighter!

6. One for the judicial record books!

My thoughts to you and the family. Sonny is now at that great golf club in the sky.
