"I admit, my fund is actually worthless now."
Madoff disclosed the truth to all American viewers through the camera.
But it was merely a statement.
Yes, just a statement.
Judging by his demeanor, there was not a hint of change.
You could absolutely see expressions of shame, guilt, fear, etc., on his face.
It was as if he were talking about an exceptionally ordinary everyday matter.
However!
This fund, which Madoff was suspected of running as a Ponzi scheme,
Originally amounted to $65 billion!
Yes, you got it right.
That's exactly $65 billion.
This amount was roughly equivalent to the GDP of a small nation.
Yet he stated it so simply.
Gone.
The fund is empty now.
Just like an everyday occurrence.
The key is his identity; he was one of the founders of Nasdaq.
Even before he got caught, he was the chairman.
Such a bigshot figure.
The number one figure of such a globally renowned stock exchange.
Turned out to be a big fraud!
