I know what you mean, Tony. I would seem that the authorities would have high tech software to track the money down.
On the other hand, this whole operation was very sophisticated. Me thinks that off-shore accounts using aliases would be hard to trace. The things that they can do electronically is amazing.
Alot of people are under the impression that only the top guy in a Ponzi scheme gets rich. Not so. Many people in the top echelon are the beneficiaries.
Also, greed on Madoff's clients was a big factor. People got so drunk on money that they remortgaged their homes to get more returns. There was a feeding frenzy, to be sure.
