Estimates of the amount of money lost by investors in the investment fund managed by Madoff a former chairman of the NASDAQ Stock Market range up to US 50 billion. One of Madoff s biggest investors René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet committed suicide on 23 December 2008 following the disclosure of the scheme. Villehuchet is thought to have lost as much as billion in Madoff s fund. A number of charitable foundations several of which provide funding for disease-related biomedical research lost huge percentages of their endowments. Several universities have been significantly harmed as well since either some of their own money or the savings of some of their biggest regular donors turned out to have been invested with Madoff. The particular type of con game that Bernard Madoff practiced is surprisingly simple for someone whose web of deceit appears to have been so tangled. It s called a Ponzi scheme. The fraud takes its name from Charles Ponzi who was one of the greatest swindlers in history. Born Carlo Ponzi in 1882 in Parma Italy he emigrated to the United States in 1903. After working at a series of low-paying jobs for several years he moved to Montreal in 1907 and became an assistant in a bank that had been set up to serve the needs of Italian immigrants to Canada. The bank eventually failed because of bad real-estate loans - sounds .
