The Madoff scandal gets worse and worse. The biggest loser in the ponzi scheme, a fund with $7.5 billion invested, now says they will sue Price Waterhouse.
The SEC looks terrible in this fiasco. It turns out there was one man who was sending the SEC all the red flags, statistics, facts and figures since 2000. He had even consulted mathematicians to prove that the numbers could simply not work. Over the years, he consulted with more than one SEC office and more than one top level SEC investigator and still, nothing happened. The SEC looked at the Madoff operation in 2006 and left without any enforcement or finding.
It now appears that $50 billion will be lost to investors, institutional clients and charities.
There has been a poster on this board who has vociferously claimed that since the SEC looked at Usana in 2007 and pursued no enforcement action, that meant Usana was cleared by the SEC and that is just not the way the system operates.
One guy. Crying out for years that the numbers simply didn’t work. Receiving a blind eye from authorities. PwC. There are a few similarities.
