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.
You and your team and your associates are absolute legends. Thanks so much for the Work that you've all been doing *Universaldispute* . Keep up with the great work, you've been doing!! Thank you for saving and protecting millions of European FROM this heartless People... What comes around, goes around!!!!! Let them have it!! God bless your heart for helping us the victims...
*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.
cause he the reason all them people lost their money every last 1 of madoff clients had been fine for years with no problems ponzi scheme or not everybody was paid & happy & had the weak poor excuse of a man whistleblower minded his business everybody dealing with madoff would still be getting money & happy the whistle blower ruined a lot of people pockets & caused a few deaths
He wasn’t a whistle blower. He had no inside knowledge. The guy was just a competitor that found a cheater in his industry that was protected by the SEC.
Greed was well with Madoff but also with his investors. They didn't care that the returns were abnormal and made no sense - they just kept coming. Why anyone would put the whole of their wealth in another person's trust is beyond me.
A 12% return isn’t really all that unbelievable. Obviously 18% is super ridiculous. However you can’t really blame some of those people who trusted Bernie thinking if something was up the government would have caught him.
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.
Every one should have a dedicated person like you on online People dream of hiring such a talented person like you. Keep up the hard work thank you so much for your dedication in this process, thank you for your commitment to your job. Your outstanding performance helped me a lot *universaldispute*
Why does Human greed or gullibility shock you..?? It's the foundation stone of the Capitalist economy we all depend on..? Mostly it works ...better than any other system..?
I wonder how long Ernie Madoff thought his Ponzi scheme would last without the market crash in 2008-2009. Since this is a fraud, soon or later it is going to collapse and be exposed.
It’s frightening where we’re going as a society. It’s looking so rapidly different in many of the wrong ways as far as free speech and democracy go. Or what’s left of it, anyway. Almost seems like an illusion at this point.
I believe bc he was a cooperating witness. there have been hit men who while giving them evidence are still conducting business . so im not sure what u mean
Bcs it's not real. These are all actors to make the sheep feel like they're doing their job the enslaved tax payers are paying for. It's a masquerade for the masses. They're all criminals.
Transparency and integrity are core values at #UniversalDispute. They maintain open lines of communication throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and involved. This level of transparency fosters trust and reassures us that our concerns are being handled with the utmost
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.
THE MADOFF RULE: if ur rich, steal from the poor, but don't EVER steal from anyone richer than you. THE EPSTEIN RULE: if ur rich, don't EVER threaten to spill secrets of anyone richer than you.
It's amazing that Madoff could pull this off, especially when SEC supposedly investigated him and his "investments." He made not even one. What surprises me is his wife was able to keep a tidy sum whereby his victims all wound up dead broke.
Greed to the extreme in the name of a fake luxury life! It's really sad and a curse fate that took over the entire family. The worst of human behavior, the white collar predators .
It's nonsense to say that Markopolos was the first to work out what Madoff was doing. Plenty of Wall St. Insiders knew damn-well that Madoff was a crook. That's why they refused to have anything to do with him. Madoff's bankers also knew he was crook, because they saw that he wasn't making any of the trades he claimed to be making and that his company's only source of revenue was his so-called 'investors.'
@@CarrieFinley-g1m Of course they didn't. People who live in glass penthouses seldom thrown stones. Markopolos went to the SEC, but his analysis was buried. The Feds were apparently more interested in protecting confidence in the wider financial system, rather than enforcing the law. Madoff's complicit bank eventually had to cough up around one billion $, but not one banker was ever criminally charged.
Yes, absolutely, I feel terrible for the people whose lives were ruined by this scheme... But, then - an immutable tenant of economic cycles is: to consistently outperform market trends on such a sustained level and for such a sustained length of time... I am somewhat gobsmacked that none of these people had someone in their lives persistently cautioning, even where becoming a nuisance when doing it...of the extreme implausibility of being that..."lucky." If I am playing a roulette wheel, I would be as equally suspect it was rigged - whether I always lost or I always won.
Mr Madoff didn't steal $60 billion dollars. He re-distributed the money among greedy millionaires and institutions who believed that a market could sustain a 12% annual yield, constantly for years. Zero sympathy for the investors.
I found it fascinating that some hedge fund managers knew damn well he was a crook. But they believed he was THEIR crook. Amazing all around & pointed out the utter uselessness of the silly, pointless, toothless SEC.
The government is suing investors who should have known they were involved in a Ponzi scheme, when the government had been alerted but did nothing to warn investors until it collapsed. Makes sense.
Largest known!! Kenny griffin of citadel is still running BM payment for order flow....the new winner for largest is about to be crowned. Power to the players
Can you explain more? I really don’t like payment for order flow it rubs me the wrong way. Something I took into account when I chose Fidelity for my brokerage. I like the way they execute orders. Citadel and Robinhood did customers dirty during the short squeeze.
I would suspect that his wife didn't ask many questions likely perhaps due to her having little or no interest in the business and she was likely happy and very satisfied raising two sons who turned out wonderfully. Along with this she would have enjoyed a reasonable social standing in the community due to Barney's standing in the industry and the good life she would have had.
They knew. There was no explanation meeting, there was just a “we are busted so let’s do plan A”…. Notice how even the son’s wife and mother words try to convince everyone that they didn’t know. No sorrow, remorse, just excuses. The son was the only honorable one who coy Don’t live with the GUILT.
Admirable job, *UniversalChargeBack* I'm glad to see you actively combating these individuals who lack integrity. We must prioritize the protection of the elderly and the wider public from these reprehensible scammers! Well done, my friend!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for your commitment to keeping us safe.!!!!!
It's ok. He scammed rich people with way too much money and way too much greed. And then lost it all and died alone, abandoned by his equally greedy family in prison. For me, this is a win-win.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. He scammed rich people AND many middle class people who lost their entire life savings. Who are you to judge without knowing anything?
The fact that the sons wife will make a profit from the book just screams that they’re trying to recoup the money, how bout sending the profits to those who actually lost something valuable
lol, exactly what I was thinking. These lawyers always take a very high percentage. Ok if if it’s a very small amount but 40-60% of millions or billions could help recover more for the swindled clients.
It’s impossible that a company with $65B equity. Only the head knows the reality. Those bank accounts always are checked by several people in the company . Plus the fact that of her no filling for a divorce make me think there is money somewhere.
I do believe Ruth. Not saying that she didn't suspect anything. But she did and still supports him in some way. You can't blame someone for being blinded by love. 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.
David Boise himself invested in Elizabeth Holmes scam and was fighting like a pit bull for her by threatening the people who raised concerns. No wonder Dershovitz wanted to disbar him on many occasions. Now is flipping on the other side.
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. Power = Silence
The son is so full of crap, nonsense, trying to gain sympathy, and he makes me sick. All of a sudden he is a hero who wouldn’t bail his father out? After all the money his father gave him he would just leave him hanging? No honor, all greed, and I’m glad the dude is almost homeless….
I think it’s very interesting both Bernie and Ruth outlived their sons by a good amount of time. In fact, the only one still living is Ruth and she’s in her 80’s. Normally, children outlive parents but not here. I just think it’s interesting.
And the son was worse. No honor and left his father hanging after the millions after getting millions. His wife and him spend all their time n how innocent they were but never say sorry OR give any money back voluntarily!!
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.
I don't think the sons knew. They worked in the legitimate side. Parents can hide a lot from you, especially domineering parents. May the son who committed suicide rest in peace. The son is not to blame for the sins of their father. My sympathy to all the victims of Madoff.
It's nonsense to say that Madoff stole that amount. When he was finally arrested, Madoff controlled about one billion $, but on paper, his fake hedge fund was once supposed to be worth 60 billions.
I had a friend who had millions invested with Madoff, his life's work. He was a recovering alcoholic. In December 2008, after learning what happened, he relapsed. That July 2009 I found him in the bathroom, dead.
With stocks he can hide the unrealised gains from trading in the books because until the stock is sold and a cash transaction happens they profits are just a number on a ledger. If the 2008 crisis hadn’t happened it would have still been going on

@@BOBMAN1980 It doesn't matter if you say they are all from Loompa Land or are Chinese Zen Buddhists!! the suggestion that Bernie gave all the Money to Israel or AIpac is lunatic drivel
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.
When government ignores and doesn’t immediately take action, someone is benefiting
All the higher ups

Madoff was a big time democrat!
So was trump
Authorities will never find Ruth’s money.
Madoff stole 50,000illion dollars.... That's incredible
60 billion, actually.
You could even say he ..madoff with 50 billion dollars ....
It's nonsense to say that Madoff stole that amount.
When he was finally arrested, Madoff controlled about one billion $, but on paper, his fake hedge fund was once supposed to be worth 60 billions.
Probably, 5 times more than what is told to the media.
@@Carl-b1q What the media has always reported, is what Madoff merely pretended the value of fake hedge fund to be.
Arguably one of the greatest minds of the 20th century
Why do the mega rich always look so weird

Good I wanted to know as much as I can about this man and the way he makes money
Idc what people think about what happened, i feel sorry for Ruth. She lost her kids of no fault of her own..glad Andrew is back with her...
Excellent explanation!
You all helped him get away with it!!
SBF videos brought me here. IYKYK.
Everyone around Bernie ARE STILL MILLIONAIRES!!!!!
Is it possible for the family to take a polygraph test ?
Polygraph tests are BS
The only person alive is Ruth and she’s in a care facility.
@@Otis1330 damn
The SEC did the same thing for SBF and ftx.
it's the greed blinding their eyes and senses.
So who else got an advertisement for a blatant Ponzi scheme at the beginning of this video? 😂😂😂
Obviously a despot.....but am still puzzled that his punishment was worse than 90% of murderers. Or rapists.
His crime is arguably worse. He ruined thousands of lives.
It’s just money…
He stole from the rich and powerful, that's why
He was a murderer
Bro “Madoff” with everyone’s money
I had a friend who had millions invested with Madoff, his life's work. He was a recovering alcoholic. In December 2008, after learning what happened, he relapsed. That July 2009 I found him in the bathroom, dead.
I'm still confused, where did all the Bernie Madoff money go? Don't we have a centralized banking system that can track down where money ends up?
With stocks he can hide the unrealised gains from trading in the books because until the stock is sold and a cash transaction happens they profits are just a number on a ledger. If the 2008 crisis hadn’t happened it would have still been going on
@@louisekibirige1167He would have Made Off with the money if not for the financial crisis.
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
I got it!😂
Wow, thanks for sharing a lifetime memory some of US still continue to remember the great author & his fantastic book, ALWELEDIM.
Made off with it all and the lavish lifestyle for his family. They all paid the price in the end. A lesson needed
Can the victims sue medoff for fraud
This all to common TRAGIC STORY is a quintessentially perfect example of MONEY ADDICTION.
Only those whom steal from the rich are there consequences ?
We can bail out the banks but can't help the victims of this scam?
SEC dropped the ball
The SEC investigated Madoff no less than 6 times. Each time, the investigation was ordered closed from the top.
Psychopath! Has absolutely no remorse!
Bro was just maximizing shareholder value 😤
Who was on watch?
I like this video
43:29 😂😂😂 God said you’re not getting off that easy 😂😂😂
When you help the Shepard, you’re helping the sheep.
His whole family should be in jail
Yeah, well both of the sons are already dead
"Where'd the money go?"
Lets look at Israel and AIPAC.
My thoughts exactly.
same !
madoff wasn't Israeli- how silly!
@@brandonbrown4819 No one is actually "Israeli".
They're Turkish, Austrian, Slavic, or European who emigrated to Palestine and took the locals' houses and land.
@@BOBMAN1980 It doesn't matter if you say they are all from Loompa Land or are Chinese Zen Buddhists!! the suggestion that Bernie gave all the Money to Israel or AIpac is lunatic drivel
The SEC was complicit along with Madoff. You scratch my back, I scratch yours...
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.
Shocker…they wrote a book…
