Today’s question of the day by one of my students:
“What’s up with this Madoff guy stealing $50 billion?”
Here’s a good Time Magazine article on one person’s story:
You never want to hear the words that come with such a phone call. “We are all wiped out.” But they came, and we went numb. We lost, on paper, $1.2 million. My wife’s family’s combined losses are close to $30 million. We’re talking old ladies and men, lawyers, children with Madoff trusts, students in college and an array of others who thought they had the world beat — and they did, at least for a time.
