Who At The WSJ Stopped The Madoff Story From Being Told in 2006?
C-SPAN ^ | February 4, 2009

Whistleblower Harry Markopolos testified to Congress on Wednesday that he brought his evidence about Madoff to the Washington, D.C. bureau of the Wall St. Journal in 2006. He said that a reporter was ready to fly to Boston after reviewing his material, but WSJ editors stopped any further work on the story. See:

Probably some editor who had $$$ invested with Madoff spiked that story

Has this been reported anywhere and has anybody asked the WSJ about it?
