The SEC Knew about this 3 years ago and didn't act until now!???

Quote from trendlover:

Madoff said he knew business was insolvent for many years. I say he hid his profit knowing he will fail soon. Now he is fined 5 million and up to 5 years in prison. But is that what he really will get? Hmm?

With years to establish an exit plan? Considering he was bright enough to get away with his for so long?

He's as good as gone already, IMO.

Bloomberg news mentioned '' Kinggate Global Fund LTD, & Fairfiel's Greenwich Group/Fairfield Sentry LTD'', and an unamed ''lawyer at the country club...........................................................................................

My dad had his regional bank robbed once;
but he never blame/gamed the FBI, the FBI helped solve the problem.Partial disclosure, my Dad was over 18 years old.


Not everyone was fooled, or ignored the'' red flags'' someone did due dlignce for several months, staked out Mr. Madoff's auditor.

:cool:

Maybe he had exit plan, but not smart enough to anticipate size of December redemptions from clients panic?
