“Das NLP-Modell begünstigt in besonderer Weise bei Menschen, die sonst keine human- oder verhaltenswissenschaftliche Kenntnisse besitzen, Selbst- und Methodenüberschätzung” Das ist das, was ich glaube, daß der Autor sagen will. Als ich den Satz gelesen habe, dachte ich: “Ich bin einigen Leuten begegnet, die begeisterte NLP Anhänger sind und so in ihrem NLP Jargon und den NLP...

Where’s the (Madoff) money?
You All Got Only Half of the Story ! A Well known fact, not published so far, is that Madoff ALSO paid out 2-6 % ANNUALLY IN RETROCESSIONS TO MONEY RAISERS ! Now just assume you would have given US$ 1 million to him ten years ago : 1) he charged 2/20 fees that siphoned the capital, since he did not made the profits 2) he paid out 2-6 % annually to money raisers 3) 1 &...
I'm not taking any new clients.
I wrote Mr. Madoff a letter 12 years ago asking him to take a new client who wanted to put $5 million with him,” recalled Leif. “I came home, got a message that said, ‘Larry, this is Bernie. I’m not taking any new clients.’ Then, there was another message from Bernie later that day that said, ‘That was rude of me. Call me at my private number.’

NO EXIT They delay the inevitable as long as they can — and live well until they get caught.
People think they can hide a one-time loss with new investors’ money, and make up for it with a big gamble later. Some Ponzi schemers delude themselves into thinking the ploy is just an attempt to hide a loss until they can again dream up something brilliant.

Welcome to the inner circle, not available to just...
Dozens of now-outraged Madoff investors recall that special lure — the sense that they were being allowed into an inner circle, one that was not available to just anyone. A lawyer would call a client, saying: “I’m setting up a fund for Bernie Madoff. Do you want in?” Or an accountant at a golf club might tell his partner for the day: “I can make an introduction. Let me know.” Deals were struck in...

Madoff's Audit Firm Friehling & Horowitz
The office for Bernard Madoff’s sole auditor exudes anything but wealth and intrigue: It is next door to a pediatrician in a drab suburban building. The tiny storefront is discreetly labeled “Friehling & Horowitz” on its single glass door. The people milling around outside are not high-end investors; they are mothers with children, waiting for the doctor’s office to...

Madoff bad omen for fund of hedge funds industry
Several funds said they had not invested in Madoff because of concerns over its operational procedures, such as the use of accountants and brokers very closely aligned with the fund and returns that were too good to be true. “There are a lot of boxes that you would need ticked in a due diligence process that just could never be ticked by Madoff,” said IGS’s Godden.

Madoff fraud could burn early pullouts
Madoff’s suspected $50 billion (33 billion pound) fraud scheme looks set to burn even those who pulled their investments out long before the scandal rippled into the global financial system. Such investors may have counted themselves fortunate, withdrawing their money years ago to buy a house or to pay for a daughter’s education, and may have even sighed with relief because they ended...

Madoff: Burnt money or bubble value?
Madoff himself came up with a figure of $50bn for his firm’s total losses during a conversation in which he admitted to his sons that his fund was a “giant Ponzi scheme”. The figure refers to the amount that clients were told their investments were worth, rather than the amount they put into Madoff’s firm in the first place.
