that's two posts today that have done that. Many of the 'victims', as you put it, were charitable foundations that made millions of dollars in grants to causes such as education, youth justice, human rights, universities and hospitals. Not all of the 'victims', as you put it, are Daddy Warbucks or Scrooge McDuck, sitting on their pile of money.
Was Eli Wiesel, a 'victim' or a victim?
Jeanne Levy-Church and Kenneth Levy-Church, are still probably not 'struggling' to make ends meet. But the JEHT foundation that they funded closed it's doors in January. That foundation was a 'victim' of Madoff, and won't be making any more grants like these:
