Best Guess: Madoff Edition

TOM SULLIVAN: After all these months of scrutiny, we still do not know how he did it, where all the money is located, or even much about him.   My best guess is we will not know for at least 10 years, if ever.

GREGG JARRETT: That he's still lying... and prosecutors will step up investigations of wife and sons.

LIZ MACDONALD: $$ lost in the Madoff incinerator has caused historic upheaval at the SEC. Will the mkts now have a cop on the beat? Not that confident in that, but here's what's key--there are 11,300 inv advisers, but only about 10% are examined every 3 yrs by about 400 SEC staffers. That will change.

BRIAN SULLIVAN: nothing will change.  Zip.  Nada.   History says people are greedy and every 30 years get burned.

CHERYL CASONE: Nothing will change at the SEC.  They are more concerned about their new initiative from the President (the man who cuts the checks) on financial regulatory reform than with trying to find the next Bernard Madoff.
