Celebrities, pensioners, banks and charities were among those who lost money in the alleged $50bn investment scheme under Bernard Madoff, the former US financier.

Madoff is facing a possible 150-year prison term. But charitable organizations, such as Human Rights Watch, say the scandal has already 'destroyed' lives and charitable endeavours.

Michelle Alexander, a Human Rights Watch spokeswoman, gives Al Jazeera her story.
