"Yacht clubs are a great place to solicit new investors, lots of money there..." Worked for decades for Madoff! (He also only sent only PAPER statements, never electronic, the better to be presenting different figures to different groups....) And, he told people that his Fund was "closed"... which only made folks want to get in it even more.
