Steve Madden (born 1958) is the founder and former CEO of Steve Madden Ltd., a footwear company. His designs predominantly cater to young women.

Born in Far Rockaway, Queens, Madden grew up in adjoining Lawrence in Nassau County, New York. [Dominguez, Robert.

"He grew up in Lawrence, L.I., where he worked in shoe stores from his high-school days until he started his own business in 1990, at 33, with an investment of just $1,100."]

Steve Madden, Ltd. was named "Company of the Year" for 2006 at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City on Dec. 5, 2006.

EC and Criminal Matters

Madden's financial affairs were closely entangled with Long Island 'pump and dump' brokerage Stratton Oakmont, cofounded by Madden's childhood friend Danny Porush. In 2001, the SEC filed charges against Madden in Federal Court in New York state, alleging SEC violations. [http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr17015.htm] Because the violations weren't criminal in nature, the SEC was seeking to recover $1,637,000 in a combination of illegally avoided losses, interest, and a civil penalty.

In 2002, Madden was convicted of stock manipulation, money laundering, and securities fraud. He was sentenced to 41 months in prison, and was made to resign as CEO from Steve Madden Ltd and from the board of directors. [http://www.slate.com/id/2064214]

Shortly after resigning as CEO, Madden set himself up as a creative consultant with Steve Madden Ltd., a position for which he drew $700,000 even when he was in prison. [http://www.slate.com/id/2064214]

He appears in Jordan Belfort's memoir The "Wolf of Wall Street".
