> Irving Picard recovered $9.3B from Madoff and paid only $5.4B to depositors.

Is this accurate? That's absolutely insane. _That_ sounds like fraud/theft.




Did you know that Madoff didn't charge fees? His crime was faking the numbers, but the way he made money is, much like SBF, through leverage of managing that money.

I don't know much about it, but until the lawyers got involved, the only losses were the made-up gains. Then they took $4B in real money.

So, who's the real crook?
