These are not greedy sacks of crap, and most of them did not know that madof was doing things illegally. I think you actually have no idea what he was doing. Madof was taking the money from his investors, then sending them falsified reports of what he was doing with their investments. If they actually KNEW what he was doing, they would have pulled their money out immediately. So, these people ARE victims, and they DO deserve sympathy. The next time you want to provide commentary on a developing storyu, make sure you actually know what you are talking about before you post, otherwise (like right now) you look like an idiot.
Lost a bit of money, did you?
I have seen NOTHING in subsequent reporting regarding this issue which makes me change my mind about the “victims”. As I said, if it seems too good to be true (and his claimed returns on investments certainly seemed too good to be true) then it IS too good to be true.
Also, in the future, please limit your comments to stories which were posted sometime this year.
