The victims and their day in court -- Going on the offensive -- After Madoff : waiting for justice -- A touch of greed, fragile egos, and more -- Diminished selves, picking up the pieces, and other matters : three clients speak -- Some activists speak -- How Madoff did it : victims' accounts -- Madoff's allure : money and mystique -- Summing up.
This case study of the Madoff scheme looks at the effects of his crimes on the victims. Many did not accept the fact that they were victims of a con game and publicly clamored for sympathy, restitution, and for public officials to share their perspective. Considerably more is known about the dynamics of con games than about Ponzi schemes, and this fact frames this book's approach. To better understand what Madoff did, who was central in keeping his scheme alive, whom he defrauded, and how they reacted, this work is as invaluable as it is illuminating.
