Yeah, it's a cheap shot. Madoff fooled a lot of people, and detecting fraud takes a different skill set.
How would we go about making it such that someone who contemplated perpetrating that sort of fraud would be very likely to conclude, "Nah, there's no way that would work; if I tried that, I'd just end up in prison like Madoff"?
Trump up the trials, studiously avoid mentioning the obvious fact that there's a bunch of people living large on top of a Ponzi scheme right now.
