Bernie Madoff Didn’t Really Die

Corona Del Mar, CA

Howdy Friend!

Bernie Madoff is dead. But his tarnished legacy lives on.

And no, I'm not talking about his infamous Ponzi Scheme -- that's what the "news" will concentrate on today. 

The job of the news is to protect the interests of their oligarch owners. That should be very clear by now. (Why else would Bezos buy a failing newspaper?).

That's why they won't say a peep about the fact that good 'ol Bernie invented Payment for Order Flow. For a reporter, that's like grabbing the third rail with both hands.

Back in the 90's, Madoff started legally bribing brokers to send customer orders their way.

They ended up siphoning off about 10% of NYSE orders from floor traders. Most stocks' bid/ask spreads were at 25 cents back then, so he'd make 1/8th or 12.5 cents on most orders.

In 1994, a paper came out exposing the manipulated bid/ask spreads, which resulted in a $1 billion settlement and a tightening of bid/ask spreads (good for you and I).

These days, the whole operation is on auto-pilot. Firms like Citadel shave off pennies on each order using high frequency trading.

Sadly, newb traders don't realize firms like Robinhood make most of their profits by selling your orders directly to Citadel. It's better just to pay legit commissions.

More like robbing the hood: Steal from the poor and give to the rich.

I wrote a report all about it. You'd be surprised who's on the "naughty" list.
