About this listen

No name is more synonymous with the evils of Wall Street than Bernie Madoff. Arrested for fraud in 2008 - during the depths of the global financial crisis - the 70-year-old market 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, analysts, and investigators, the victims of the scheme, and Bernie Madoff himself - the book reveals: what motivated a respected financier to commit such a massive fraud - and why he thought he could get away with it; how Madoff managed to keep the scheme hidden in plain sight - despite numerous SEC investigations; the shocking failures of Wall Street oversight - and how it could happen again; the true scale of the investment losses - and the victims' ongoing fight for justice; and what Ruth Madoff and the rest of the family knew - and how it shattered their lives.

Great detail and storytelling.
Financial info explained very well to a novice and the family tale was absorbing. Couldn’t stop listening.

Excellent and absorbing

Brilliant book. Sometimes the financial stuff was way over my head but the guy did a brilliant job covering both sides of the story

I just about managed to stay with it but missed a lot of the book because it's just kinda dull and hard to stay interested.

Ok, but kinda boring

it's nice to hear a detailed interpretation of events.
it still doesn't answer the main question.
WHY?
I guess we'll never know...

I enjoyed it.

This book delivered a personal angle through the authors research. Not too technical but a good balance of relatable and semi-complex information over the events of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme,

Interesting and enticing listen

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I was hoping for an accessible read but found this too technical and lost interest. The human element is lacking. Disappointed.

Not accessible to a lay person

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This book has 4-5 chunks of information and repeats this information over and over for 14hrs from different peoples perspective. There is nothing new in this book after the first 2hrs or so.

Very little content and repetitive
