- latchkey 10mo agoWhat's amazing is that they needed her help.
- eightman 10mo agoThere's a reason SBF was arrested and tried within a year while other complex financial fraud cases take years to get a conviction.
- latchkey 10mo agoDec 11, 2008: Madoff arrested; scheme revealed. March 12, 2009: Madoff pleads guilty to 11 federal felonies. June 29, 2009: Sentenced to 150 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $17.179 billion.
- bdcravens 10mo agoIn Madoff's case, he confessed to his sons. So again, this was a case of an insider having the goods, not the result of a speedy investigation.
- eightman 10mo agoI mean yeah Madoff confessed and made the case open and shut. SBF entered a Not Guilty plea but Ellison for all intents and purposes entered a Guilty plea on his behalf with her co-operation.
- sidewndr46 10mo agoYour timeline is correct, but once Madoff was confronted he just confessed and everything moved forward.
