  • So bernard Madoff is dead....

    https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/14/b...ead/index.html

    but that is not the interressting part of the story, meet jeffry picower the man who most likely extorted madoff until his ponzi scheme fell apart.

    In the 1990´s up until 2000 picower and his wife got anual returns ranging from 120% to 550%, which in my opinion is a sign picower knew what madoff was doing and had a little black suitcase in a safe somewhere ready to expose him.

    so what happened to the money? well after everything fell apart the trustee files a lawsuit against picower´s estate and his wife hat to return 7,2 billion$. Picower died in 2009 before the verdict.
    His wife returned 7,2 billion and in 2011 started a foundation for her philanthropic activities with a starting capital of 100 million which was in 2018 3,8 billion.

    talking about the perfect crime nobody was every criminally charged, picower died of a heart attack of old age and i am sure he got more out of madoff then those 7.2 billion$

        i find the coin ipo going up in flames on the day of his death to be oddly poetic.

            Madoff reportedly cornered the hot chocolate market in prison

            Why this isn’t fondly remembered this week is a crime.

              you mean the big boys let him believe he had pull because he stuck it to the Upperclass? Or they where sorry for him because he was a senile broken old man? My favorite is it just didn´t happen

                    If something is to good to be true it often is a fraud and if someone cry´s foul over a long period of time it is foul. Regarding the SEC nothing has changed they are still a on the most part steered by the big financial firms and banks and as toothless as a old tiger, you have to do some very dumb very obvious things to get caught like the nicola guy with his obvious not in reality based claims, they will never find if its too sophisticated or clouded in BS.

                    I mean everybody knows the chairman´s of the SEC are revolving door experts jumping from beeing boardmembers of big banks and financial firms into one place or another so no new news there.

                      the line about how 'the SEC is trained to find misdemeanors on paperwork but has no idea how to proactively interrupt felonies' rang super true.

                      that said.

                      i know for a fucking fact that they have started to hire on quants/ML goons to look for deviations from the mean so to speak on returns.

                      obviously thats not relevant to the big splashy stuff like nkla or even musk's social media antics, but its actually allowed them to uncover insider trading on a number of occasions.

                      so perhaps the landscape is starting to shift a bit.
