Madoff’s Global Reach: Over 40 countries, 339 funds of funds, and 59 asset management companies were invested with Madoff. An estimated $65 billion was lost by investors around the world, the largest fraud ever committed. If the SEC had reacted proactively to information my team supplied, an estimated $50 billion might have been saved.DATA SOURCE: Publicly available information and Symplectic Partners databases. Data restricted to funds of funds with at least two years’ worth of return data through March 2008. For more information, see George A. Martin’s article “Who Invested with Madoff? A Flash Analysis of Funds of Funds” (
Journal
of Alternative Investments, Summer 2009).

The names of French noble families are inscribed on the inside of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. During the 2002 European sales trip, de la Villehuchet told me that many of his investors belonged to those families.
