Reminds me of movie '4 Horsemen'
Madoff was the scapegoat of the financial system being corrupted to the core. Like cancer seeping into bones.
We all watched so much TVs & movies that we want same plotline of movies - start, discovery, confrontation / climax and the bad guy got dealt with.
That's what happened, they just gave you want you wanted to see and feel. But the situation didn't get better, instead they made it legal.
What's going on in US financial / political behind the scene thing is scarier than all the horror / sci-fi movies put together.
