Madoff debacle hits region's Jewish community

"Group's clients lose $3b in fraud; Now-confessed swindler got MassMutual funds; Investors told 'we were all victimized' by Madoff" by Beth Healy, Globe Staff | December 16, 2008

A hedge fund group owned by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Springfield, has lost all of its clients' money - more than $3 billion - to Bernard L. Madoff, the New York trader who confessed last week to losing $50 billion of his investors' funds in a Ponzi scheme.

The MassMutual unit is one more name on the list of sophisticated investors around the world who were ensnared in Madoff's alleged fraud, a list that includes prominent individuals in Boston and New York, from Boston Properties real estate magnate Mortimer Zuckerman to Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel.

Boston philanthropists such as the Shapiro and Goldberg families have lost millions, as have sports figures like Norman Braman, a former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles football team. Braman, a former director of the $9.7 million Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, said he feared the nonprofit had substantial losses....

One fraud ripping off another, boo-hoo!

Madoff drew elite investors from New York and Boston to Palm Beach, Fla., and eventually from around the world, with steady double-digit returns that he allegedly delivered for decades....

These other two articles tell you nothing.

Madoff's method

It's amazing to me how the Zionist-controlled press totally buries the Jewish connections.
