Backed by governments and global banks, Bernard Madoff defrauded $65 billion from charities and individual investors. This book answers the crucial unsolved questions: why and when did Madoff turn his business into a massive fraud? How did he fool so many investors for so long? Who knew the truth? And who, ultimately, is Bernard Madoff?
This will be the first authoritative book on the biggest fraudster in history, based on hundreds of interviews with his family and former associates. Packed with revelations, it will lead the news agenda in September when it is released under a global embargo. Erin Arvedlund is an investigative journalist who has written for Barron's, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, TheStreet.com and Portfolio.com. In 2001 she wrote the first major critical investigation into Madoff, based on more than 100 interviews, headlined "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". The US financial regulators did not follow up her revelations.
