Billion with a b. Not wild at all! It was all fueled by greed. He was telling his investors not to look too closely at how he was doing it, but that he could bring huge returns and that was all they needed to hear. Some of them were giving him like $500 million in one chunk! Greed is what this country was built on and what fuels it on a daily basis!

DrDawkinstein Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) If it makes anyone feel better for the investors, 80% of the losses from Madoff's victims have been recovered. So looks like most folks got their money back, and are continuing to do so. https://www.madoffvictimfund.com/ Edited April 14, 2021 by DrDawkinstein 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks like most folks got their money back, and are continuing to do so. https://www.madoffvictimfund.com/ Having a close friend involved in the restitution program, I can say the 80% is statistically accurate but the total losses involved in that number is not all-inclusive. There are many, many victims who will never get back everything, and in some cases, will get nothing at all. A very sad state of affairs created by a man who showed no remorse. When he asked to be released early due to his failing health, they asked the victims for their input on the decision and it was overwhelmingly negative.
