One year after Madoff’s arrest
Hard to believe, but it’s been one year since Ponzi scheme ‘mastermind’ Bernie Madoff was arrested for scamming over $50 billion from investors. We thought it’d be the perfect time to check in and see how Madoff’s victims and associates are doing, one year after his arrest. Aaron Lucchetti is a reporter for The Wall Street Journal whose latest article says the Madoff sons are having an incredibly hard time finding themsleves new jobs. Cynthia Crane was one of Madoff’s many victims; she decided to adapt her story for the theatre in a show titled, “John Denver, Bernie Madoff, and Me.”
