      In general I agree. But it also comes with the embarassment that you failed at your job. So to avoid the embarassment you do nothing. Kick the can down the road. Hope it becomes someone else's problem. And I'd also further add that government agencies being government agencies, the people in the trenches don't want to deal with an obvious pain in the @$$ situation. You know you will be putting a lot or resources into investigating and even starting the process throws your daily work schedule into chaos. So the lower level people just ignore the report on their desk.
      Case in point, I once had a manager who was very old school. He hated email. He wanted everything in paper copy. You literally could not see the top of his desk because of all the paper covering it. When he finally retired, some of the papers at the bottom had turned yellow they had been there so long. I'm sure there was many things on that desk that just got ignored and the people who submitted the requests simply gave up on it. That was probably exactly what happened in the Madoff case.

    *Universal Dispute* doesn't just stop at recovery; they are also actively involved in bringing these criminals to justice. Their efforts have led to the takedown of numerous scam operations, providing a sense of closure and justice to the victims. Moreover, their commitment to educating the public about the dangers of romance scams helps prevent future incidents. By raising awareness and providing resources, they empower individuals to recognize and avoid potential scams.

    I feel really bad for the sons, who lost everything, including their honest business. It sounds like Mrs Madoff also was not culpable, but her attitude suggests she is above it all and has no idea of the impact on regular people. I am not sure why she gets to keep $3 million. Why not take it all and have her live on Social Security like many of her husband's victims. It is not that I want her to suffer, but it seems all of their wealth came from the proceeds of Bernie's grand theft, and therefore qualifies for clawback.

    This whole version about the family members knowing nothing... ridiculous. The sons ran a trading firm that practiced real stock trades. Two floors down, the investment business says it's buying and selling stocks, yet, the sons never wondered why their own father's investment business didn't use their own trading firm to buy and sell those stocks? The sons never wondered why they hadn't bought or sold a single stock from/for their own father's investment business? Right. Sure.

That's why they refused to have anything to do with him.

She might've lost more than any of them. Karma is a heavy price to pay for greed. Everyone lost in the end. Be careful what you ask for.

      Allen Dershowitz is a name which always comes up when it involves criminals. Yes he is a lawyer, but look at his client roster:
      Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, O J Simpson, Sholom Rubashkin, just to name a few.
      Dershowitz admitted that he “took advantage” of a “massage” at Jeffrey Epstein’s home, but said “he kept his shorts on”. The underage girl said she was sexually molested by him six times. The case was settled out of court (meaning he paid for her silence). DOJ & FBI look the other way because of the “don’t tell” rule.

    2024 now. Both sons are unfortunately dead. Madoff died in 21. I understand why people are trying to throw blame, but Mrs Madoff was clearly also a victim. You’re talking they were billionaires, why would she suspect anything wrong after so long? And both of his sons turned him in, paid the price.
    You know it’s weird, I do think Madoff was a genius, maybe not a financial one, but he definitely understood the rules enough to power on.

    It is not the largest Ponzi scheme. Social security is. The only people making money in social security is the people currently receiving payments Those paying into social security and their employers. Instead of taking those funds and investing those funds to build reserves to pay future recipients. What happens since 1968 is the money received is converted into short-term government, with the funds received are placed in the government funds in the government budget. Currently, more funds are distributed to recipients than is being collected. The US budget is required to make up the difference. Currently, 59 cents if every dollar in the federal budget goes to payouts to social security and Medicare.
