It is hard to believe the claim in the video that ‘5 crypto ladies’ at Bloomberg passed on this enormous story absent evidence from the speaker. Regarding Madoff, there were indeed investigations after some of the complaints. Notably, these situations differ in that Madoff was a respected figure within the regulatory apparatus (but it’s hard to imagine that SBF holds sway over the editorial process at Bloomberg). It is true that the investigations into Madoff were ineffectual, at least according to reports I have seen

Yea, that's why I linked to the video (re: source is a single witness), but also SBF was definitely a powerful guy almost to the degree Madoff was, and we already see publications like the NY Times covering for SBF [1], so I don't see that as a big jump. I have a personal journalist friend whose editors didn't let them cover Theranos before the WSJ broke the news for similar reasons, so it's not out of the question. Not to mention the regulatory apparatus and Congressional inaction.
