New York – Bernie Madoff was the pharaoh at the head of the largest pyramid scam in Wall Street history. With his fraud he left a trail of destruction and suffering. His clients lost their savings and their home in one fell swoop. At least two victims committed suicide, as did Maddoff’s own son. Madoff himself eventually died at the age of 82, behind bars, as America’s most hated man.
