Seeger Weiss LLP - Litigation Against Madoff Investment Firm

Bernard Madoff's "Ponzi Scheme" Defrauds Investors of $50 Billion

Bernard Madoff, the founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, was arrested for securities fraud with an estimated value of $50 Billion dollars. Madoff's firm attracted investors because of his stature in the stock market community, having pioneered automated trading in the early days of the New York Stock exchange. Thousands of investors, and many hedge funds entrusted billions of dollars to Maddoff's firm. Government reports say that Madoff described his investment firm as a "giant Ponzi scheme," which is when returns are paid to investors from the investments of subsequent investors. The revelation of this fraud has sent shockwaves through the investment community, and has further eroded confidence in the stock markets during these difficult economic times.

Literally thousands of investors and institutions have been defrauded by Madoff and his firm.
