Madoff : corruption, deceit, and the making of the world's most notorious Ponzi scheme

by Peter J. Sander. In the first comprehensive account of this epic scandal, Peter Sander traces Madoff’s rise from schoolboy to Wall Street trader, from money maker to money manager. His gripping narrative examines how Madoff built his brand by infiltrating influential circles, how the scheme came unraveled, and how Madoff—a Jew whose arrest has been called “fodder for the bigots”—ironically wreaked grievous damage to Jewish organizations in particular. --Publisher (Check Catalog)
