Peter Davis' Status Update: Weekend at Bernie's

I am obsessed with Bernard L. Madoff and his 50 billion dollar Ponzi scheme. It's all I can read or think about. So when I discovered (by the dozens of cameramen outside his building at 133 E. 64th St.) that he lived two blocks away from me, it was like Xmas came early. Bernie is on house arrest all weekend from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m., so naturally I was outside his building at 8:45 a.m., Venti Starbucks in hand, waiting. By Monday, I predict Bernie will be in cuffs and that the next one to go is his wife, Ruth, who helped cook the number books for her husband's company. The owner of A & A Discount One magazine store told me: Madoff "came in often... He always bought all the business magazines, like Forbes." I'm staking out Bernie's all weekend... I'll be in touch.
