OK, even if he was a bit of a stalker driven crazy by his bosses for not being able to compete with Bernie Madoff's performance, Harry Markopolos should win the Nobel prize for economics and a Pulitzer prize for investigative reporting. He even did the SEC's work for them. So what if we don't know what mosaic theory is...(perhaps it's related to Passover) Markopolos parted the sea of red ink for nearly twelve years in pursuit of his man. Reminds me of David Jansen searching relentlessly for the one-armed man in "The Fugitive" . David's dead ( I think?) and Tommy Lee Jones was pretty serviceable in the movie. Please send in your casting suggestions for Bernie Madoff and for Harry Markopolos for the movie. If you want to know why we are suffering from a total infarction of investor confidence stay tuned. The guy laid thing out. Notta. Doughnut holes. Those boys at the SEC did one helluva job cracking this case wide open.
Here is Harry Markopolos' actual complaint to the SEC from November 2005-- he started searching for the financial amputor in 1999! Read for yourself: http://www.scribd.com/doc/9189285/Markopolos-Mad
