Nothing like sitting by the sea in Angra sipping a caipirinha with friends to be able to see certain crisis orientated facts in a new light.
One pal who was an ex Madof investor explained how he had spent some time on a waiting list for the opportunity to get into the fund and had felt privileged for the chance when he finally entered.
Then lightening struck, obviously Madof was fond of Brazilians and wanted to give a warning, it´s spookier than the Da Vinci code and a touch easier to spot.
If you write Madof backwards you get Fodam......as all Brazilians know this is a derivative of the verb F****R which in this state (and placing a qualifying SE afterwards) means to screw someone in the plural.
Therefore give a bit of credit to Madof, he tried to tell the Brazilians that they would all be screwed!
