This is a partial list of Bernard Madoff’s investors who have reportedly lost money in Madoff’s alleged investment scam.  Total losses are estimated to be about $50 billion, which would make it the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Where available, the amount estimated to be lost by each investor is included. This table will be updated as new information becomes available.  (Last Updated 2pm ET)
