Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, his brother Peter Madoff and sons Andrew and Mark in 1995
As the New Year begins, after a tumultuous 24 months of ponzi schemers and fraudsters being exposed, with more to come, businesspeople need to take stock and a long look at what has happened to the economy. Ask yourselves, are you raising the next fraudsters. When you teach your kids to be ruthless, heartless and greedy, putting self before all else, what kind of example are you giving them and will it bring them down in the future.
Ponzi schemer R. Allen Stanford
Most families do not start out that way, but wrong turns are made and kids go on to do the unthinkable, damaging many in the process. In an age of greed, it is an easy message to foster, but not the right one. Teach your children the value of hard work, respect, human decency and integrity. Teach them to respect others property and their own and what it takes to lawfully acquire it.
