The American nightmare

A horrible story about old people who were fleeced in the Madoff scam. A 90 year old and having to go back to work as a grocery store clerk. 83 with Alzheimers about to be thrown out of the nice nursing home.....

Now these are still fairly highend cases, but there are alot of retirees outside Madoff who have gotten slammed in the broader market/house price fall. They've only lost a portion in this crisis so their full stories haven't played out yet.
