William Honey Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 Not your best riddle as it could have applied to innumerable people until your last clue tying it to current events. Nonetheless, answering is de rigueur. A: Madoff YIPEEEE!!!! Bernie Madoff is correct Turtle. Another investment firm had investedOne Billion Dollars with the Madoff firm. The owner lost the billion dollars and theyfound him dead in his office. Either he committed suicide or an angry investorhired a hit man to kill him over their loss. They say that the Ponzi scheme reached over fifty billion dollars and Madoff is living in a seven million dollar penthouse on house arrest. Madoff ruined thousands of investors world wide,to live the rich life and now he must pay!!! William :) :) Quote

William Honey Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Barry Bonds? All too easy!:evil: This riddle relates to a record before Barry Bonds, however the riddle could alsobe Barry Bonds. Think in terms of a "DUEL BATTLE". Barry Bonds is not whatI am looking for.

William Honey Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 Who is Mark McGwire YIPEEEE!!!! Reason you have a great memory "BIG MAC" is correct !! Thankyou much for your correct answer! I can still remember when Big Mac and Sammy Sosa were battling it out to be the home run king breaking Roger Maris Record of 61 home runs. Big Mac wouldhit a home run and Sammy would come right back and hit one too. This went onfor weeks, until finally Big Mac won. Then he was accused of steroids helping himhit all those home runs. He retired and was forgotten. Now its Barry Bonds andthe same steroid accusations.
