What rate of return were Madoff followers getting vs. the schlubs who |
|
weren't invited?
Did anyone stop to think something was wrong with this picture?
Yea, Madoff bankrupted a bunch of people, but if it's too good to be true, isn't it?

that was saying that there was one man that benefited more than Madoff. I can't remember his name right now, but I want to say it started with a P. Found it. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3942812

5. Most people do not follow finance or do not care |
|
this is why they let others manage their finances. Worse, many did not even know about Madoff. The person or the agency that they trusted to manage their money invested with Madoff without their knowledge. And these are the ones who get screwed twice: they do not even get 500K from the government as being direct victims of fraud.
And, apparently, their statements were fraud.

6. I don't think so. I wonder about some people, like Kevin Bacon. |
|
Was he so illiterate because of this fantasy?
