Bernie Madoff
Bernie Madoff was an American financier and former chairman of NASDAQ, known for orchestrating one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history, defrauding thousands of investors out of approximately $65 billion. His scheme, which lasted for decades, promised consistent high returns and was revealed during the 2008 financial crisis. Madoff's fraudulent activities led to his arrest and a 150-year prison sentence, serving as a stark reminder of the potential for deception in financial markets and the devastating impact of investment fraud on individuals and families.
