  7. ===================
    BrockLand;
    Bloomberg news mentioned '' Kinggate Global Fund LTD, & Fairfiel's Greenwich Group/Fairfield Sentry LTD'', and an unamed ''lawyer at the country club...........................................................................................

    My dad had his regional bank robbed once;
    but he never blame/gamed the FBI, the FBI helped solve the problem.Partial disclosure, my Dad was over 18 years old.


    Not everyone was fooled, or ignored the'' red flags'' someone did due dlignce for several months, staked out Mr. Madoff's auditor.

    :cool:
