SEC builds new tips machine to catch the next Madoff | Reuters

Exclusive: SEC builds new tips machine to catch the next Madoff | Reuters: "The TCR Database is the SEC's most significant response to its well-documented fumbling of early tips about Madoff's $65 billion fraud. The SEC's new Office of Market Intelligence, which last summer also forged a first-of-its kind partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is using the database as a key tool.

Among them is Harry Markopolos"
