No name is more synonymous with the evils of Wall Street than Bernie Madoff. Arrested for fraud in 2008during the depths of the global financial crisisthe 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.
