The Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme

Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme was one of the largest and most complex financial frauds in history. Madoff promised his investors high returns, and he used the money from new investors to pay off old investors. This kept the scheme going for many years, but it was eventually unsustainable. When the market crashed in 2008, Madoff's investors started to redeem their investments, and he was unable to pay them back. The scheme collapsed, and Madoff was arrested.

Madoff's victims lost billions of dollars, and many of them were left financially ruined. The scheme had a devastating impact on the financial industry, and it eroded public trust in the investment world.
