In an era of faceless organizations owned by other equally faceless
organizations, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC harks
back to an earlier era in the financial world: The owner's name is
on the door. Clients know that Bernard Madoff has a personal
interest in maintaining the unblemished record of value,
fair-dealing, and high ethical standards that has always been the
firm's hallmark.
[1]Madoff, as readers probably know, has just been arrested for
running a ponzi scheme that apparently burned through $50 billion
(that billion with a "b").
