Madoff's ponzi scheme during a hearing before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee on Capitol Hill on September 10, 2009 in Washington, DC. Kotz said the ponzi scheme was not uncovered by the commission due to Madoff's savvy and reputation, combined with incompetent work by SEC investigators. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
