SFO Drops Inquiry Into Bernie Madoff’s UK Arm

Financial World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Many investors were taken aback with the news that the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is shelving the 12-month inquiry into Madoff Securities International. The SFO said it will continue investigation into “wider aspects” of the fraud, but critics are still calling this a cop out.

 

Investigators had in the past described MSI as "an important cog in the washing machine" – a reference to Madoff's efforts to move cash around the world to help give the impression that profits were being generated.
