Bernie Madoff Photos From 1999 Make Media Rounds

On Oct. 7, 1999, a young photographer named Jonathan Saunders hauled his camera gear across town to the Lipstick Building in Midtown Manhattan for one of his first portrait assignments.

Fortune had selected Mr. Saunders to photograph a middle-aged investor, for an article discussing the investor's pioneering approach to the markets. "Don't be on the opposite side of a 100,000-share trade," the investor said in the accompanying article, "because anyone trading 100,000 shares knows more than you do."

Ten years later, it turned out it was the investor himself who knew either more, or less, depending on your perspective, than just about anyone in the markets.
