;From NBC News --"By definition the Ponzi scheme(r) would have to be one of the biggest liars, but what he's saying in interviews and e-mails in the New York Times is what many suspect. Yeah, he was a crook but a lot of his biggest investors had to know it. Bernard Madoff says banks and hedge funds were guilty of willful blindness as they continued doing business with him without asking questions. He didn't name the banks and hedge funds but told the Times; (they) had to know. but the attitude was, if you're doing something wrong, we don't want to know." See the video.
The con man is taking the credit for helping the court appointed trustee to recover some of the stolen money, by pointing the finger to the likes of J.P. Morgan Chase and to the owners of the New York Mets. Both of whom denied suspecting Mr. Madoff of fraud. Yeah?
Madoff's fraud wiped out a lot of smaller investors. Why is he pointing the finger at the banks? Maybe he wants company? Though he is reported to have said that he won't give criminal evidence against anyone. Maybe he's trying to get a decade or two knocked off of his ninety nine year sentence? Yeah, still conning, huh? Or not?
