A better understanding of how Madoff's fraud worked can inform a smarter approach to this hazard for all investors and for everyone trying to keep investors safe from such predators.
The Bernie Madoff scandal in 2008 cast new light on an age-old challenge for investors, financial professionals, and regulators. Too often, our psychological and procedural defenses are set up to detect threats from the outside—burglars, hackers, corporate espionage attacks, fraudulent robo-callers, strangers in our midst. But how do we defend ourselves from the trusted criminal—the admired and respected high-achiever who wins our trust, and then betrays us? A better understanding of how Madoff's fraud worked can inform a smarter approach to this hazard for all investors and for everyone trying to keep investors safe from such predators.
