In December of last year, Bernard Madoff was arrested and pled guilty to an 11-count criminal complaint, admitting to defrauding thousands of investors of billions of dollars. Because of fraudsters like Madoff and because of current economic conditions, investment advisors are exposed, more than ever before, to errors and omissions lawsuits. One program manager that has been writing E&O for investment advisors since 1988 is The Cambridge Alliance, now Markel Cambridge Alliance. Bayard (Bud) Bigelow III, CPA, MBA, president and CEO of Markel Cambridge Alliance, says that one of the things that makes Cambridge Alliance stand out is that it is the only program where investment advisors can speak directly to the company. Mike Crowley, president of Markel Specialty, says that the Markel ...

The largest reported Ponzi scheme in history is the scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff, a former chairman of the Nasdaq. Madoff was arrested on Dec 11, 2008, for operating a $65 billion Ponzi scheme that may have lasted over three decades. On Mar 12, 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 felony counts, including securities fraud. When a fraud unravels, the CPA firm may be the only remaining solvent party. Ponzi schemes are named after Charles Ponzi, who cheated more than 40,000 Bostonians in the early 1900s by promising a 50% return in 45 days. Several class-action lawsuits have been filed alleging that there were clear red flags to be found in Madoff's operations. Securities fraud entails undertaking a scheme to defraud, making any untrue statement of a material fact (or omission), or engagin...

Now afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, Howard Frucht probably never will realize he is a suspected victim of disgraced investment adviser Bernard Madoff, Frucht's daughter, a resident of Oshkosh, said Thursday.

NEW YORK -- Federal authorities will charge at least two employees from disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's former firm in the coming weeks -- and Madoff's brother and two sons could be next, two people familiar with the probe into Madoff's financial fraud told The Associated Press.
Madoff's brother, Peter, and sons Andrew and Mark -- executives in the Madoff firm's legitimate market-making and proprietary- trading business -- are likely to face tax fraud charges later this year, but may escape more serious securities fraud charges if authorities fail to come up with solid evidence they knowingly participated in the massive fraud, the people said.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bernard Madoff, a quiet force on Wall Street for decades, was arrested and charged on Thursday [Dec. 11] with allegedly running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme in what may rank among the biggest fraud cases ever.
The former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market is best known as the founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, the closely-held market-making firm he launched in 1960. But he also ran a hedge fund that U.S. prosecutors said racked up $50 billion of fraudulent losses.
