No. Go do some reading on all the charities and hospitals that were hit very hard by the Madoff ponzi scheme imploding. They had to give up millions that their invested-with-Madoff-and-Madoff-feeder-funds rich donors had promised them, donations they had been relying on and been planning their budgets around. Worse still, in a ponzi scheme there can be clawbacks of money you “made” before and already spent, not just loss of the existing money that goes poof. EDIT: Or, if you’re a sports fan, consider the impact on the New York Mets and their budget over the last decade.
