Bernard Madoff has had more than his share of 15 minutes of fame. No matter the search engine you use to find information on him, you’ll always have one problem.There aren’t enough hours in a day to go through each of the sites to see what they have to present on him. The links located on this page at Stock-Market-Keywords.com are some of the most accessed by people wanting to know about Bernard Madoff . While you’re there, there’s also the option to go to Google, Yahoo! and bing using an advanced-search function for this keyword term. If you were a victim of his excesses, you know firsthand how he used his reputation, his power and his influence to dupe both wealthy and sophisticated investors. Like Jim Cramer , Warren Buffett and Suze Orman who are well well-known people, Bernard Madoff had the respect and confidence of his clients. But unlike most financial advisors and unfortunately for his clients, he really wasn’t looking out for their best interests. And as a result, some of them have now been forced to move from Park Avenue and run the risk of simply joining the ranks of homeless residents in the park. The question that has been asked over and over again is “How did this happen to me?” The answer is really not complicated. His persona enabled him to use other people’s accumulated wealth to his advantage. Bernard Madoff also avoided government oversight until it was much too late for his clients. Now, these individuals have become a legion of unsatisfied investors with little or no more money left to live on let alone to invest with. But with hindsight always being 20/20, the possibility exists that they also have to accept some of the blame. Because in retrospect, the best approach they could have taken would have been to become actively involved in managing their money and their investments. Bernard Madoff has not been making many new friends outside of prison lately. Given his current place of residence and the severity of his crime, it’s no surprise. Although Madoff can longer take people’s money, let’s hope he’s not using his skills and experience to create a new batch of Ponzi schemers who will be released into society.
