One pound is now worth just 1.11, compared with 1.39 a year ago and the lowest it has been since the launch of the single currency in 1999. At its highest in 2000, the pound was worth more than 1.70.

If Mr Madoff's estimate of $50bn in losses turns out to be correct, the scam will dwarf anything carried out by the eponymous Charles Ponzi in the 1920s. It would be more than four times larger than the fraud which brought down WorldCom, the telecoms giant, in 2002, the biggest bankruptcy in US history. It is not known yet just how many years the trader may have been cooking his books, but it might also end up as one of the longest to have gone undetected.

Madoff eventually divulged that his funds were almost out of money and that the operation was "all one big lie," the complaint said.
