NIAP’S ORIGINS
While NIAP seeks to radically improve the impact and effectiveness of the restitution and protection efforts, NIAP is an evolution of the first group formed to assist victims of the Madoff fraud — Madoff Survivors — comprised of hundred of participants nationwide of an active Google internet group, volunteers and a steering committee. The group has had a good record of success. Working together with the popular website, Madoff-Help.Com, NIAP is the result of nearly a year of planning that has included the participation of members of New York Area Victims Coalition, members of Bernard Madoff Victims.Org, Ponzi Victims Coalition and other groups and individuals from around the country. The intention is to bring together investment fraud victims to assist them in both maximizing their own help and efforts, and collaborate with investors to help insure a sound financial system.
