No, the biggest "white collar crime" in history was the buying/stealing of the 2000 US Presidential election.

I think it was the biggest that was actually procectuted

Reportedly so, yes

It would appear to be so. We have read about inverted pyramid model swindles, but nothing could match Madoff's in sheer size.
-
doubt it. probably the biggest "ponzi" scheme, but maybe enron has the title on the biggest white collar crime. don't know.

yes, i think they said the final price tag was 62 billion dollars, absolutely ridiculous, and hopefully hes going to get life in prison
