Madoff’s Victim List
Sadly, on the list of parties who lost money at the hands of Madoff’s ponzi scheme were Brandeis (despite some original reports to the contrary).
Others who lost money include Sandy Koufax, the Wilpons, many charities/non-profits and others.
The whole list is available here (in PDF)
Was it possible that Madoff pulled of the largest ponzi scheme in history alone? I think that is unlikely considering how much money was changing hands.
Eventually somebody had to notice that the only money coming in was from investors.
Or were too many people simply blinded by their greed? If that is the case, Madoff’s employees and associates should have noticed that something fishy was going on long before now. Seventeen years is a long time.
