    A bunch of wealthy people who all run in the same circles, not satisfied with being super wealthy but instead wanting to be even wealthier. Shocking degree of greed among these investors. And of course, none of them take responsibility for being aware of the fact that no fund could generate consistent returns like that; they knew it was fraudulent. Anyone with the barest knowledge of the stock market would know that the Madoff scheme was illegal, but as long as they made sickening amounts of $, they said nothing. They cared only about themselves, never about those left out of the money-printing. They have only themselves to blame.

    What’s astonishing about this is most corporations and firms undergo an Annual Audit by licensed Accountants who Certify the financial records of the Company. I sure didn’t have any money in his circus but I really am wondering why his investors didn’t check for this before sending their lifetime savings to him.
    If an Accounting Firm did do an Audit on him annually then they would be complicit in the fraud.

      It wasn't corporations that were investing with him he targeted mostly wealthy individuals usually Jews and Jewish charities for the most part. Because he was Jewish not to mention having been chairman of NASDAQ he had credibility with these people.
      These people thought Bernie was investing in their money in the stock market but Bernie never traded a single share he just dumped the cash into his account at Chase Bank and used it to pay returns his earlier investors, (and buy multi-million dollar penthouses, million dollar beach houses, yachts, Benzes, Rolexes and jewels for himself, Ruth, and their sons.
      As long as he and his feeder funds like Fairfield Greenwich continued to recruit new investors to put ever more billions into his ponzi he could continue to pay out the fat returns he promised (and live large off their cash)
      If the 2008 crash hadn't happened and caused people to get scared of the stock market and stop giving money to Madoff to "invest" and calling Madoff wanting their money out of the stock market (which it wasn't even invested in) this scam would still be ongoing.

    David Kotz said the most important utterance here, “(Madoff) was trading just fine until he was suddenly a couple-a-hundred million down...” then just like before when he was down, to prevent embarrassment and business failure, he started the Ponzi, like when he borrowed $3000 from his Father-in-Law earlier to prevent a bad outcome.
    These patterns are consistent. Family, who see these patterns, should be aware of disastrous events to come if not addressed. Financial fraud is minor when compared to other episodes where prior patterns induce suspicion. Suicide, mass shootings, domestic abuse, substance abuse, etc. can be the outcome.

    Charles Ponzi like Charles Keating who fleeced S&L's for a few billion and left 23 000 people with worthless bonds but he did get Alan Greenspan his first job as a consultant writing an opinion and review of his financial transactions. You may know Alan Greenspan as the head of the Federal Reserve. He left just a couple years before the housing market crisis of 2008. What great timing. Who is the bigger thief Alan Greenspan or Bernie Madoff? They have all been allowed to operate within the same environment.

    • @smgg7191
      @smgg7191 3 роки тому +8

      Ok so basically, he gets investor A to give him $500 to “invest”. Then he gives investor A like $50 a year as a “return on investment”. Multiply this times many accounts over and over, and you have a giant pool of money, and “returns” to give out to investors. The problem is that when investors wanted to withdraw all their money during the great recession, there wasn’t enough money to give back. It all came tumbling down.

    • @maritjohnson
      @maritjohnson 3 роки тому +3

      Let’s say he gets someone to give him 50000 dollars to invest after he promises consistent returns. What he actually does is keeps a portion of their own money separate and gives it back to them as their investment “return” (when in reality he never put the money in the market at all and is just spending) and when person A’s money’s dried up he moves onto the next. He was sociopathic and didn’t care who he hurt and could lie convincingly and easily so getting the new investors wasn’t really a problem (until 08) and eventually he stole 65 billion dollars. It’s super crazy

I'm not saying I don't believe them, it is just hard to understand how it all went about. He did not trade, so there was no money going to that. But he spent money on other things, and he transfereed money. If you have thousands of clients how is that even possible? In any way? They would likely have known if money was transferred, and also likely have known if money was NOT transferred. I run a small business myself, and you get an idea of how information must flow within the company to get things done at all.
