Yes, I think Pericles probably embezzled four or five times more money than Madoff stole. Where did he steal the money from? From the Delian League's treasury, which was moved to Athens from Delos immediately when Pericles was entitled "general." Pericles built the Acropolis in Athens with this money, was tried for stealing the money, and talked his way out of the trial.
