It's not going to hurt only the people who were investing with him at the time this all came out- because it was a big Ponzi scheme, people who invested, thought they made money but got out years ago may be liable for their "profits." It'll take years to sort out.

there was a pic of him at the court house yesterday w/ a bullet proof vest on. He's basically a POS and i truely do feel sorry for all those who have been duped. On the other hand it was a hedge fund and they're a different breed and not really regulated. Shapiro's thoughts on some sort of Congressional releif kinda through me for a loop though

I guess I've read too many Vince Flynn books.

how ironic.


seriously tho, you can't help wondering just how far this will go, and how many people it will affect. i've got a bad feeling they haven't even really begun to find who all lost money-or how much.
and yesterday i heard on the radio that madoff (who, last i heard, was a free man while awaiting trial) mailed about a million or so $'s worth of property to family members in an attempt to hide assets. what a piece of work!

One of the financial shows was saying that plenty of fund managers did do their basic due diligence, and based upon that passed this cheat by. Some say the signs were there.

I read today that one guy notified the SEC about Madoff in 2005.....Maybe the SEC should pay back the 50Bil since it was done with their knowledge!!

Saw Kara Sedgwick interviewed on a local morning show in L.A. The interviewer asked her something about it, and it was about as awkward a moment as you'll ever see.
