Netflix‘s documentary Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street left viewers with more questions than answers. While the series thoroughly covered the evolution of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme and gave us insight into the man he was, many still wonder what happened to the victims.
With so many people impacted by his actions, it’s unrealistic to think they were all compensated. Here’s what we know:

At the height of the financial crisis in 2008, the world watched as many of Wall Street's top institutions, investment firms, and financiers were exposed for anything from predatory lending to ill-fated risk taking and fraud. Among those who fell from grace during this time was Bernard "Bernie" Madoff, who - at the time - was the chairman of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities and revered in the stock and investment world. Netflix's latest docuseries, "Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street," takes a deep dive into the life and crimes of Madoff, who went down in history as the mastermind behind the world's largest Ponzi scheme.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Madoff's company exploded, and he quickly became known on Wall Street. Along with establishing his investment firm, Madoff helped develop electronic trading platforms like Nasdaq. By the 1990s and 2000s, he even had celebrity clientele,...

Since his downfall in 2008, disgraced financier Bernie Madoff has been the subject of several books, movies, and documentaries, with the latest being a series from Netflix, which hit the streamer on Jan. 4. In "Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street," the streaming giant is tackling the unbelievable true story of Madoff, who is known for defrauding celebrities and regular people out of 65 million through an elaborate and massive Ponzi Scheme.
Throughout his time as a force on Wall Street, Madoff persuaded people, both famous and not, to make large investments in a variety of stocks with the promise of a significant financial return. However, Madoff never actually invested any of the money he recieved. Whenever an investor asked for their returns, he'd simply pay them with money from a new victim, perpetuating a cycle of fraud with no profit for anyone but himself.

Lucas Till (MacGyver), Nafessa Williams (Black Lightning), Nathan Darrow (Preacher) and Tom Irwin (The Morning Show) have joined the cast of Lee Daniels’ FX pilot The Spook Who Sat by the Door.
They join previously announced cast members Y’lan Noel and Christina Jackson in the TV adaptation of Sam Greenlee’s spy novel. Production is underway.
The potential series will tell the fictional story of Dan Freeman (Noel), a patriot and Vietnam vet, who is recruited as the only Black operative in the CIA as part of an affirmative-action program in the late 1960s. After a very competitive selection process he trains in high-level combat and espionage. However, following this arduous training, this model recruit is rewarded with a post in the reprographics (aka photocopying) department, “left by the door” as a token of the CIA’s “racial equality.”

For Catherine Hooper, recovering from the death of her fiancé, Andrew Madoff has gotten harder as time has passed, not easier.
“It’s been pretty awful,” Hooper 44, tells People. “It’s not to say that you don’t find your peace with it but it has been really, really difficult. Sometimes I think it’s harder even now than it was at the first early moments. It’s the reality of what life is like without this person. You built so many dreams with them. There are moments that it’s so painful that I can’t tell him something funny that has happened.

We had heard Mr. Freeze would be making an appearance in season 2 of Fox’s Gotham, and now it’s been announced that House Of Cards actor Nathan Darrow will play the role. As the show slowly begins to delve more and more into the mythology of Batman, we’ve started to see the emergence of slightly more outlandish villains and storylines – but Mr. Freeze is by far the most fantastical character to feature so far.
TV Line provides a detailed breakdown of this incarnation of Victor Fries, and it sounds like his origins will remain very faithful to his comic book counterpart’s.
Victor begins as one of Gotham’s preeminent cryogenics engineers. Though ferociously smart and eminently capable in his work, Victor struggles to make meaningful connections with others. The one exception is his wife, Nora, who has tragically fallen ill with a terminal disease. Victor’s love for Nora knows no bounds,...

Kevin Spacey’s House of Cards bodyguard is bringing the Big Chill to Gotham this winter.
Nathan Darrow — best known as the longtime bodyguard (and occasional lover) of Spacey’s Frank Underwood — has landed the pivotal, iconic, repugnant (and recurring!) role of Victor Fries (Aka Mr. Freeze) on Fox’s Batman prequel saga, TVLine has learned.
As Gotham Ep John Stephens told TVLine, “The first time we see Freeze is in December, and then we’re going to be telling a heavy Freeze story in Episodes 12 and 13.”
