Madoff Scandal - What do you think?

Postby feross » Sun Mar 15, 2009 8:10 pm

Wikipedia wrote:The Madoff investment scandal occurred after the discovery that the asset management business of former NASDAQ chairman Bernard Madoff was actually a giant Ponzi scheme. Alerted by his sons, federal authorities arrested Madoff on December 11, 2008. On March 12, 2009 Madoff pled guilty to 11 felonies and admitted to operating the largest investor fraud ever committed by an individual. According to a federal criminal complaint, client statements showing $65 billion in stock holdings were fictitious, and that no stocks were ever purchased since the scheme began in the 1980s.

What do you guys think about Madoff?
