Bernie Madoff ran a $65 billion Ponzi scheme, the largest financial fraud ever recorded.
Instead of actually investing his clients’ money, he used new investors’ funds to pay returns to earlier investors, creating the illusion of consistent profits.
His fraud went undetected for decades because he promised steady, above-market returns and used fake account statements to deceive investors. When the 2008 financial crisis hit and too many clients tried to withdraw their money, the scheme collapsed.
Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison.
