The real villains here are Christopher Cox and the SEC, who investigated Madoff eight times, the last time specifically on suspicion of running a Ponzi scheme, each time “finding” no wrongdoing, which begs the all-too-familiar question of the last eight years: Satanically corrupt or grossly incompetent?

Cox was an OC representative before he got the SEC job. You know OC, the county that went bankrupt a few years ago because its treasurer was investing based on astrology?

Christopher Cox is the modern Robert Citron. Incompetent smiling fools who screw everyone.
