Trouble in River City

Beacon, New York shuts down vintage pinball arcade – “why, we have a law against that sort of thing!” So now the city has yet another shuttered business.

Psst! Wanna buy some Madoff debt, real cheap?

The New York Post reports a rumor that a chump who lost $250 million with Madoff is trying to auction if off, maybe for as high as thirty cents on the dollar.
