I can't speak to the reputation of Bernie Madoff in the year 2000 or what the Mets did know or should have known about him.

Application of "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" would have killed Madoff's scheme.

If I'd applied that theory to all the events in my life, I would have misses out on a lot more than I would have avoided

Maybe I was doubting the wrong thing about the Wilpons. How about "You can't cheat an honest man". Does that fit better?

I don't know if it fits, but it's obviously untrue

No, there's a lot of truth to it. And its not just situations like a guy gets killed after cheating his drug dealer.

One honest man being cheated disproves it

Though, yes, I agree that people who sleep with dogs are more likely to wake up with fleas
