100% the SEC knew that Bernie Madoff was a total complete fraud .
Of course. Because the President of the SEC was married to Bernies Daughter
He literally wasn't even sending Trades to wall street exchanges. Literally No Trading for Bernies Ponzi Scheme the last 25 years of his Fraud
Harry Markopolous blew the whistle and the SEC refused to listen and refused to investigate.
Harry ( forensic auditing accountant) tried to blow the whistle 5 times ! And nobody would Listen.
He wrote a book called " Nobody would Listen"
And they still wouldn't Investigate Bernie Madoff
He was the secret within wall street , the elephant in the room
He offered the biggest commissions for selling of his products world wide to super wealthy, so everyone pushed his products and they knew the returns were better than the stock market. With no risk! They got repeat business and more commissions
So everyone was happy
And
There is always someone that knows that is purposely ignored. Wait til the stories emerge about the covid scam.
You want to see an interesting story, watch The Man Who Knew. The story of FBI agent James O'Neill who was tasked with following our 9/11 hijackers around. He begged the agency to pull them in knowing they were ready to strike, but was told to stand down. After they fd him around, probably because he actually wanted to do his job, he quits the Bureau and takes a job as head of security at the World Trade Center. He felt an attack was eminent and thought he could help stop it. LSS, he starts the job in August, Towers are attacked just weeks later and O'Neill is dead. O' Neill knew and was ignored than forced out of the FBI. The guy was an expert on Bin Laden. Too bad he was killed and not around to tell us the rest of the story, lucky for the FBI.
