Mind blowing

Having spent 15 yrs in the investment industry in Canada, I'm shocked by the level of involvement of the financial industry in perpetuating Madoff 's scheme!

A balanced delve into Bernie Madoff

Ponzi Supernova is a great dive into Madoff's crimes, motivations, and humanity.
An interesting look behind the headlines.

For The Love of Money

it seems quite clear to me that Mr Bernie Madoff should be joined by a long list of fellow benefactors to the Ponzi scheme however it is a testament to the power that wealth have over the countries most upper class and so-called Noble institutions .
