I was watching the talking heads say that various members of the Madoff family held key positions in this organization.

Classic family run business!!!

Oh yeah, schemes like this are super old and people still fall for them.

Remember the Billionaire Boys Club??

They didn't steal all the money, they lost it in the markets and covered it up...

They did of course steal some of it since they were earning fees based on fraudulent performance. Just saying it's not like these guys walked away with billions, probably millions though.
