Bernie Madoff Strikes Again: the Lasting Consequences of His Ponzi Scheme are Still Being Felt
The “Bernie Madoff Scandal” broke on December 11, 2008, when the FBI arrested the eponymous chairman of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“BLMIS”), and charged him with one count of securities fraud. He later pled guilty to 11 counts of securities fraud.
