Unraveling the world’s largest Ponzi scheme is one thing. Recovering the funds is another.

In December 2008, Bernie Madoff admitted that the investment advisory business within his firm was a Ponzi scheme, setting off his arrest and a chain reaction of events throughout the financial services world and philanthropic communities. A Trustee under the Securities Investor Protection Act was appointed to liquidate Madoff’s firm and to recover the proceeds from his Ponzi scheme. FTI Consulting experts were engaged by Irving Picard, the Trustee, and BakerHostetler, the Trustee’s counsel.
