Years before the Madoff investment scandal became public, financial analyst Harry Markopolos alerted the SEC. But he tells Steve Kroft the commission ignored his warnings.

Harry Markopolos has said all along that there were at least two employees of the Boston SEC office that tried to get the NY SEC office to investigate Bernie Madoff. I have seen Harry's testimony on Dr. Phil's show, why was it missing from 60 Minutes story? What about the last week's discovery of Mrs. Madoff's withdrawal the night before he told his sons. I am disappointed in the depth of this story. There is so much missing for the average American who is working during C-Span hearings and doesn't know what YouTube is.

If I were Pres. Obama I would hire Harry to sit on the SEC. Rather than hiring the same people who got us into this mess, I'd take some of the few who had it right about credit default swaps, the market in subprimes, etc. and put them in a place where they can help us. ASAP.
