Das Vertrauen in unsere Bänkelere wird über Jahre erschüttert sein. Madoff war der letzte Nagel im Sarg der „Finanzprofis“:
Ponzi took money from ordinary investors, widows and orphans. But Madoff went for bigger game – hedge funds, banks, and professionals. Today’s news tells us that the world’s largest bank – HSBC – was a victim. Banks in Geneva said they were out $4 billion. The Fairfield Greenwich Group said it had invested $7.5 billion with Madoff.
Of course, we don’t like to see widows and orphans lose get scammed. But hedge funds? Banks? Who can honestly say that they don’t enjoy seeing these mighty moneymen tripping over their own greedy delusions?
