Hmm, maybe op is Mr. Markopolos? :eek:
ET Post from THREE YEARS AGO was: SEC investigating MADOFF FINANCIAL?
- Thread starter trademonster
- Start date
Hmm, maybe op is Mr. Markopolos? :eek:
Whoever he was, my honest guess at his motivation was he wanted people to take a closer look and stop handing their money to Madoff. If I knew this info, I'd have done the same. The same way if you see an accident, you stop and help.
Even Madoff wanted it to stop - most fraudsters drag it out to the very end and deny it to their death. But the sooner you stop it, the less money everybody loses. That's the nature of a pyramid scheme.

All I can say is WOW. This makes me question the motivation of the original poster that started this thread 3 years ago.
I bet the poster was either a whistle blower or someone trying to create a paper trail, like in a crime thriller. Here is how I see it: the protagonist was being followed and stalked in Switzerland by men in blacks (hired by Madoff), for having inside knowledge and decided to create a paper trail in case they whacked him.
But seriously, I hope trademonster is okay.
If he did blow the whistle he sure did open a can of worms. The sec didn't regulate the hedge funds but you can be sure they will now. The off shore funds and all. I wonder how this will affect the llc structure who went with the hedge fund format.

I am NOT a whistleblower or trying to create a paper trail. I actually had some significant money invested with Madoff when I heard this rumor. I was just concerned and I wanted to see if other people knew about the investigation. Fortunately, I got all my money out of Madoff in 2006. Madoff and his people at first refused to return the money and eventually became very rude in doing so.
Well, for all those who insulted me on this thread, you can kiss my A** and I told you so.
Given the incestuous corruption of Public Office by Wallstreet (9 Trillion, and counting), I think it's a lock elements within the SEC were aware and sheltered the operation.
Somebody outside the organization knew in 2006.
Only after the Ponzi ran its course and 50 Billion got robbed, did the SEC step-in and play hero.
That smells like a big pile.
Sorry if I don't take the Governments Word on its face.
99% of the time, its Bullshit.

He jus promoting www.trademonster.com in a gorilla marketing manner. Google search millions for madoof. Find trade monster and voilà '. Free advertising. Peeps will do anything
(IF that is true,) it would be opposite. He use his ET name for his new company name, not new company name as ET name. He posted 3 years ago before trademonster was a company.
