It’s exactly a year ago today that Walt Noel’s world was rocked by the arrest of his bestest friend, Bernie Madoff. And what a tumultuous year it’s been! The Fabulous Five have shed pounds and real estate, a few dozen lawsuits have kept Walter busy, the Fairfield Greenwich Group has closed and ol’ Walt’s own Round ‘em Up Road cottage has been liened to the tune of $10 million. Next year only promises to be more exciting.
But here’s the question: will Walt and Monica show up at the RHC’s Christmas Party this Saturday, as they did last year? You know, greet their friends, commiserate with them about their losses, show off pictures of Andres in his new yacht and pass out invitations to the Villa Mustique? My social secretary is notoriously lax about these matters but I am not aware of receiving my invitation yet, so if any readers are going, please snap pictures of the happy duo if they show, and send them along, would you? FWIW pays top dollar for pictures and in this case we offer a genuine, million-dollar gift coupon applicable to the Greenwich property of your choice, signed by Frankie Fudrucker himself and printed on heavy-weight paper suitable for framing.
Or we’ll just send Scusie and let her make something up.

Why do you keep running that picture of Walt with my wife Jamee, the socialite, instead of Monica? Are you trying to tell me something?
Well Pete, Walt wasn’t known as “The Tiger of Wall Street” for nothing!
Dude -
You want a picture? All you need to do is ask. Here you go:

Your Pal,
Walt
The Noel’s can weather the storm. They will settle and make amends. Put them back on your invite list soon. Sincerely, God.
So will Walt and the girls return to the “island” to sample last year’s “No Noel” cocktail? Is $Ten Million really “attached” to their house now?
