Congress created the SIPC in 1970 to protect investors when a brokerage firm fails and cash and securities are missing from accounts

WCBM financial talk show host over the weekend said that checks from investors were written to Madoff... PERSONALLY. There were NO traditional brokerage accounts set up. And, the investors never questioned the method in which they were receiving these large returns.

So, how can there be any recovery paid for by the taxpayers for the investors' stupidity?

It’s insurance, except premiums weren’t paid?

Nice.
