Articles on the Madoff implosion highlight ripple effects beyond the loss of money & closure of prominent charities. Last night in my nonprofit class we discussed the tension this is creating within nonprofit boards, as well as its potential impact on nonprofit governance. Below, an excerpt from one news story highlighting the scandal's effect on local social networks:

"This is a very wealthy area, a place where there are a lot of philanthropic people. The fact that a lot of charity money has been lost is maybe the hardest thing for people to swallow," he said.

The local Palm Beach Post reported a frosty exchange at a birthday party Saturday night at Mr. Trump's ultra-exclusive Mar-a-Lago Club, where several furious Madoff clients confronted Robert Jaffe, who not only invested heavily in the disgraced financier but also received a fee for steering other clients to Mr. Madoff.

With Mr. Trump looking on, Mr. Jaffe came close to a physical confrontation with one particularly unhappy Madoff investor. "There were a lot of unhappy campers there," Mr. Trump told the newspaper.
