If it seems to good to be true (50% return on money, etc) it is. The only way Maddox got away with it for so long, was his return was not high enough to raise eyebrows. Well, it did raise eyebrows in anyone who knew anything about the investments he was supposedly making. But that is another story.

And Maddox was a good looking, nice talking, wholesome looking guy. We all want to believe that these Ponzi guys look like used car salesmen, etc. In reality, they look like good businesses, they talk a good game, etc.
