What is sonja kohn?

Sonja Kohn is an Austrian banker and financier who gained notoriety for her role in the multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Bernie Madoff. She was a close associate of Madoff and his primary European representative, helping to attract wealthy clients to invest in his fraudulent investment scheme.

Kohn's private bank, Bank Medici, acted as a feeder fund for Madoff's Ponzi scheme, funneling billions of dollars from investors in Europe to Madoff's firm in the United States. Kohn was reportedly paid millions of dollars in fees for her role in facilitating these investments.

After the collapse of Madoff's Ponzi scheme in 2008, Kohn faced numerous legal challenges and investigations related to her involvement. She was sued by investors who lost money in the scheme and faced allegations of negligence and fraud.

In 2010, Kohn's Bank Medici filed for bankruptcy, and she has largely disappeared from the public eye since then. Despite her involvement in one of the largest financial frauds in history, Kohn has largely avoided criminal prosecution and continues to maintain a low profile.
