I don't understand how being Jewish doesn't make them "victims" a lot of fund management is not public. How does their ethnicity have anything to do with the theft?

They touched on that in the book. What Madoff was doing(other than the whole Ponzi Scheme), was an Affinity Scam. Madoff was Jewish, and preyed on the Jewish community.
