Madoff Talks
Uncovering the Untold Story Behind the Most Notorious Ponzi Scheme in History
McGraw-Hill, 2021
Aperçu
Bernie Madoff could have still been a billionaire, even if he had never stolen a dime.
Recommendation
As the stock market has climbed in recent years, the public’s recall of scammer Bernie Madoff has largely faded. In this study years after the fact, radio host Jim Campbell relies on his conversations with Madoff and his wife Ruth to shed some new light on the $65 billion fraud. Campbell’s book is well-timed – Madoff died in prison shortly before the work was published. With the benefit of perspective, Campbell unearths some gems, including new insights into Madoff’s skill as a manipulator. Perhaps most important, this postmortem serves as a reminder that greed and deceit remain powerful forces.
