I read that investigators will go back in the fund's history and retrieve any profits paid out to investors that got out before the floor dropped out. The idea is that the losses will be spread out evenly amongst all participants. So, its not over.

You are correct, and the prosecutors are after the people who ran the "feeder funds" as well. Madoff did not do this on his own.

I agree. He ran the fraud on a 'specialised' floor to which hardly anyone had access. Among those who did were his sons and immediate family.

His accountant also has to be closely investigated. Sounds a lot like the Maxwell and (especially) Barlow Clowes fraud in England a while ago.

    • Interesting changes. The idea of relegation and promotion have always been there in a different form (getting and losing your card etc and qualifying for bigger events) but it looks like they want to define it better for top tier events. The Tour has always had A and B level events (and even lower). It will be interesting what they choose as the Challenger Series events and whether some tournaments go to the Challenger Series that used to be prestigious. Not sure how the networks will take to this knowing they have “Challenger” Series events defined that way now. Also, I’m not happy that John Henry and Theo Epstein are involved. Look what Henry has done to the Red Sox.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.
