At the beginning of last century, the tragic fate of the Antarctic expedition of British polar explorer Robert Scott has shook the world: 18 Jan., 1912, the participants reached the South Pole, but not the glory of pioneers inherited them, and Norwegian polar explorers Robert Amundsen and his companions, who visited there a month earlier.
January 18, 1912. Scott writes in his diary:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — High-net-worth and pension-fund investors are expected to launch a rash of investor lawsuits on the federal and state levels against Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, whose founder was arrested and charged with securities fraud in what federal prosecutors are calling a Ponzi scheme that could involve losses of more than $50 billion.
