What I think is far more alarming, perhaps even sinister, is the fact that years ago certain financial analysts had already determined (some, without a shadow of doubt) that what Maddox was doing HAD to be blatantly illegal. . . ." Madoff, not Maddox. Maddox was the editor of Nature. He had plenty of assistants, but what he did was perfectly legal. In the long view of history, Maddox and his cohorts caused much more harm than Madoff, albeit unintentionally. They thought they were doing good. - Jed
