No name is more
synonymous with the evils of Wall Street than Bernie Madoff. Arrested
for fraud in 2008 - during the depths of the financial crisis - the 70
year old marker maker, investment advisor, and former chairman of the
NASDAQ had orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in world history,
fleecing thousands of investors across the globe to the tune of $65
billion. To this day, questions remain: Why did he do it? How did he
get away with it for so long? What did his family know? Who is the
elusive Bernie Madoff?
In Madoff Talks,
author Jim Campbell presents the most comprehensive, insider account
of the Madoff saga to date. Based on exclusive interviews with all the
players--the Madoff family and their associates, the Wall Street
wheelers and dealers, the army of lawyers, analyst, and investigators,
the victims of the scheme, and Bernie Madoff himself.
Madoff Talks
features the first, and likely only, interviews with Ruth Madoff and
defense attorney Ira Sorkin, for which Bernie waived attorney-client
privilege, as well as never before published details from the author's
personal communications with Bernie Madoff in prison. A vivid,
powerful piece of investigative reporting, the book takes us behind
the headlines to show the full human cost of Madoff's crimes, and
offers a cogent analysis of the reforms necessary to prevent it
from happening again.
Meticulously researched
and relentlessly riveting. Madoff Talks is the full story of an
American tragedy.
