I find this whole thing fascinating. I'd like to know if the Madoff operation was ever legitimate, and I'm interested in how they're going to re-redistribute the wealth that he distributed, for, inasmuch as his distributions were not true dividends, many of his (?innocent?) investors received what was basically stolen goods, and I think the entire criminal enterprise is up for a complete investigation and many folks will have to fork over their part of the distributions. Of course, a lot of them will say they are only getting their own capital back.

This is a cornucopia of con manipulation.
