ET Post from THREE YEARS AGO was: SEC investigating MADOFF FINANCIAL?

trademonster · Jan 9, 2006

I've heard that SEC is going to shut down Madoff financial and all of their hedge funds for SEC violations. Can anyone confirm this?

is there any advantage to knowing this kind of event ahead of time or is it just bragging rights?

For once in my life, I'm forced to agree with zdreg. Sounds like a drive by forum rumor to me.

I heard from a trader on wall st. about a SEC investigation on Madoff for various SEC violations. I'm trying to find out if anyone has heard the same. I have some friends who have big money with Madoff so I thought I try to get some info. No, I don't post here since I only look at the forum. And whoever suggested that I'm starting a "rumor by forum" can kiss my ass. Get a life.
