Hoping to spy on Donald Trump's old house or Rod Stewart's unbelievably sexy mansion when cruising down the tony streets of Palm Beach? After you scoped out Mar-A-Lago, the Kennedy compound and other oceanfront manses owned by Europeans with four first names, we have one more house you may want to visit on this real estate safari.
Its owner may be stuck in New York right now, but feel free to stop by Bernie Madoff's fraud fortress -- some angry teenagers already have.
Undoubtedly acting on the orders of their ripped-off parents, some neighborhood kids toilet-papered Bernie Madoff's Palm Beach house over the weekend. Local teens took credit for the prank, allegedly telling local law enforcement that they were upset about their trust funds falling prey to the Ponzi scheme. But they must not have lost that much, otherwise they might be tempted to do some real property damage.
Palm Beach was among the hardest hit communities by the Madoff mess; a New York Times article described the Palm Beach Country Club, from which the faux financier recruited many of his clients, as a rumor mill of whispers, with battle lines drawn between those who had been asked to invest and whose who hadn't.
