Description
Richard Behar's definitive account of Bernie Madoff's epic confidence game reveals the shocking truth behind one of history's largest financial deceptions. With unprecedented access to Madoff himself, as well as hundreds of regulators, prosecutors, and investors, Behar sheds light on the origins of the Ponzi Scheme and the complicity of those who enabled it.
The result is a riveting tale that exposes the greed and humanity's most consistent weakness that drove so many people to participate in Madoff's scheme. From the early days of the deception to its devastating aftermath, Behar's dogged reporting over 15 years makes clear that there aren't many innocents left standing.
Shocking, infuriating, and at times absurdly funny, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding how one man was able to deceive thousands of investors for so long. With its gripping narrative and unflinching examination of human nature, Madoff The Final Word is a compelling read that will leave you questioning the true cost of greed.
