That Madoff was a crook is one thing, but the real - never answered - question is why society never held the SEC accountable. No SEC bosses fired or behind bars..

So basically, society has learnt absolutely nothing. Therefore it will happen again and again and again. Like we saw with Moody, Standard & Poor & Fitch. Financial crime (aka "negligence ") pays off well. Far too well until the milked Muppets finally decide enough is enough. But will that point ever come?
