On December 10, 2008, Madoff's sons told authorities that their father had confessed to them that the asset management unit of his firm was a massive Ponzi scheme, and quoted him as saying that it was "one big lie".

The following day, FBI agents arrested Madoff and charged him with one count of securities fraud. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had previously conducted multiple investigations into his business practices but had not uncovered the massive fraud. On March 12, 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a massive Ponzi scheme. The Madoff investment scandal defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars. Madoff said that he began the Ponzi scheme in the early 1990s, but federal investigators believe that the fraud began as early as the mid-1980s and may have begun as far back as the 1970s. Those charged with recovering the missing money believe that the investment operation may never have been legitimate.

The amount missing from client accounts was almost $65 billion, including fabricated gains. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) trustee estimated actual losses to investors of $18 billion. On June 29, 2009, Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison, the maximum allowed. He died in April 2021 while serving out his sentence.

We need to lock up and let die in prison all the scumbags that push ponzi schemes on Americans. Let's start with the assholes in congress who keep pushing Social security.

It's a shame Jews don't believe in Hell. Having said that, I hope Bernie is experiencing a really bad surprise today.

He certainly didn't pay for his crimes here on Earth.

Yep. I guess they recovered 13 billion so hopefully most investors got at least 50 cents on the dollar.

Read last year 30,000 claims had had over 80% returned to them. Suprised it's anywhere near that amount.
Still glad the fukin thief is dead finally.

Couldn't possibly care any less. The ~8,000 Americans who die every day get no news stories or threads about them because they're not rich or famous.
