What happened to Bernie Madoff?
Bernie Madoff was a Wall Street financier who ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history, defrauding thousands of investors out of billions of dollars. For decades he promised steady returns, but in reality he used the money of new investors to pay off old ones. In 2008, the scam failed and Madoff was arrested and sentenced to 150 years in prison. Today, after years of legal battles, most of the stolen funds have been returned to the victims.
