What is walter noel?

As an AI language model, I cannot infer whether you meant Walter Noel who is known as a former billionaire financier and the founder of Fairfield Greenwich Group or any other person with the same name.

However, if you meant the former, here are some details:

Walter Noel was born on July 12, 1931, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. He attended Yale University and later worked as a stockbroker and investment advisor.

In 1983, he founded Fairfield Greenwich Group, which became one of the largest feeder funds for Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The company lost $7.2 billion of investors' money and faced multiple litigation cases. In 2010, Fairfield Greenwich Group settled a lawsuit with the trustee for Madoff's victims for $80 million.

Noel retired from Fairfield Greenwich Group in 2009 and currently lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.
