Former Madoff Employees’ Suffering Can Be Compared to Only One Thing

The day Bernie Madoff was arrested, employees tell Jerry Oppenheimer, author of the purple-prose spectacular Madoff With the Money, was the day their innocence was lost.

The sudden feeling that nothing was safe anymore! "As one longtime employee sadly observes, '12/11 was our own 9/11.'" Wow. [WSJ]
