Madoff with the Money (ePub)

An intriguing look at Bernie Madoff the man, and his scam

Madoff with the Money is a deeply disturbing portrait of
Bernie Madoff based on dozens of exclusive, news-making interviews.
From the values Madoff was taught growing up in the working class
town of Laurelton, Queens to his high-life on Wall Street and the
super-rich enclaves of Palm Beach and the French Riviera,
bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer follows the disgraced money
manager's trail as he works his way up the social and economic
ladder, and eventually scams his trusting clients in a $50 billion
Ponzi scheme.

Through Oppenheimer's in-depth reporting, you'll discover new
revelations in this startling case, and become familiar with the
trusting victims-ranging from non-profit Jewish charities to the
likes of seemingly sophisticated individuals such as actress Jane
Fonda who would "like to shake Madoff until his teeth fall out,"
the scion of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire who lost a bundle
and was forced to rent out rooms in his house, and New Jersey
Senator Frank Lautenberg. There's even Madoff's own sister-in-law
and talk show host Larry King, who apparently didn't ask the right
questions when he invested. All lost their much-needed life
savings, while others saw fortunes small and large evaporate in the
greedy financial operations of one of history's all-time
charlatans.
