Bernard Madoff arrested over alleged $50 billion fraud

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bernard Madoff, a quiet force on Wall Street for
decades, was arrested and charged on Thursday with allegedly running a
$50 billion "Ponzi scheme" in what may rank among the biggest fraud
cases ever.
The former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market is best known as the
founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, the
closely-held
market-making firm he launched in 1960. But he also ran a hedge fund
that U.S. prosecutors said racked up $50 billion of fraudulent losses.
Madoff told senior employees of his firm on Wednesday that "it's all
just one big lie" and that it was "basically, a giant Ponzi scheme,"
with estimated investor losses of about $50 billion, according to the
U.S. Attorney's criminal complaint against him.
A Ponzi scheme is a swindle offering unusually high returns, with early
investors paid off with money from later investors.
Isn't he a registered Democrat?- Hide quoted text -

Easiest way to find out is to check out the story in the New York
Lies... If they say "REPUBLICAN" in the first line of the story he is
a repub. If they don't note his party at all, he is a dem.. CNN and
MSNBC too..

Madoff in recent years has contributed to mostly Democratic candidates.
I'm sure he's nominally a Democrat these days, though I have no idea
whether he is registered as one.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the price of tea. A big-time crook
is a big-time crook is a big-time crook. Most of the big-time crooks in
the political arena seem to be Republicans, from the "moneyed" class.

He appears to be the biggest crook so far. You Democrats are in the
lead. You have a Governor selling a US Senate seat and a former head of
NASDAQ.
