SIPC’s Role In Madoff-Of-All-Scams Could Save The Stock Market
December 17, 2008 by Douglas A. McIntyreThe SIPC came out with a statement last night indicating that they will be involved in the Madoff situation. The SIPC maintains a special reserve fund authorized by Congress to help investors at failed brokerage firms. The SIPC reserves are available to satisfy the remaining claims of each customer up to a maximum of $500,000, including a maximum of $100,000 for cash.
It seems likely that most, if not all, of the statements Bernard Madoff delivered to clients were entirely bogus. Based on the SIPC mandate, it could be in the realm of possibility that the SIPC has to buy securities to replace those that were faked on statements delivered to Madoff clients.
