Bernie Madoff's Programmers Arrested

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the what-corporate-veil dept.

ZipK writes "With their former boss cooling his heels on a 150-year sentence, programmers Jerome O'Hara and George Perez are now in the US Attorney's crosshairs. They've been arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy, and 'accused of producing false documents and trading records at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC in New York.' Apparently Madoff's fraud was too large and too complex to be foisted entirely by hand."

    That won't happen, because people like Warren Buffett made out like bandits under the bail-out.
