With a number of research institutes succumbing to the Madoff fraud, I wondered whether my own host, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, might be exposed to financial losses. While I have no way of really knowing (I wonder if the trustees do), I stumbled onto this neat relationship tracking tool @ Muckety.com. When I search “Mount Sinai School of Medicine” and “Bernard Madoff“, I find a rather non-overlapping, unlinked set of social networks, with only 1 connection – a Mr. David S. Gottesman who apparently serves as a trustee and generous patron for both MSSM and Yeshiva University (YU reported a loss $110M invested in Madoff Securities). What’s your institute’s exposure ?
