In case you were wondering how Fairfield Greenwich Group's principals paid for their lives (18,000 sq ft villas in Mustique, G3s, race horses, etc.), here's one example.

Remember: FGG charged fees of 1% of assets and 20% of gains.  The fees on the money given to Madoff generated more than $100 million a year for the past five years alone.  Unfortunately, the gains were fictitious, and the assets are gone.
