Madoff with the Money

by Jerry Oppenheimer Narrated by Oliver Wyman

Overview

Madoff with the Money is a deeply disturbing narrative portrait of Bernie Madoff based on dozens of exclusive, news-making interviews -- beginning with his roots and the values, or lack thereof, he was taught in the Madoff home in working class Laurelton, Queens, in the '40s and '50s, to his high-life on Wall Street and in the super-rich enclaves of Palm Beach, London and the French Riviera and everywhere else he stalked, pulling off his shocking $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Through bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimers in depth reporting there will be new revelations to this startling case. Also profiled will be the dozens, if not hundreds of trusting -- and sometimes avaricious victims -- ranging from non-profit Jewish charities, to the likes of seemingly sophisticated celebrities such as Larry King and Zsa Zsa Gabor, to the brilliant French investment manager who slit his wrists after entrusting and losing $1.4 billion to one of history's all-time charlatans -- a manipulative Svengali who the author compares to psychopaths like Charles Manson and Jim Jones.

Editorial Reviews

After Bernard Madoff was exposed as "the world's greatest scammer," stories circulated about would-be clients who in past years had gone to him wondering how his "split-strike-conversion strategy" could yield such astronomical results. Invariably, Madoff would wave away their doubts by naming a few investors and assuring them that the Securities and Exchange Commission tightly ruled the entire industry. Fifty billion lost dollars later, we have all gotten to know Madoff much better, but not as well as author Jerry Oppenheimer, who in this book provides startling revelations and heartbreaking glimpses into the lives that Bernie ruined. A story that would have left Gilded Age Robber Barons rapt with envy.
