Greatest theft in history?
Perhaps you've been following the appalling story of Bernard Madoff, the money manager who seems to have stolen almost $50 billion of his investors' money. This may very well go down as the greatest theft in history, but Sean McMeekin suggests another theft holds the title of the world's largest. He says that that the massive thefts by the Bolsheviks from about 1917 to 1922 were even larger, at least $45 billion, maybe more.
