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. Madoff With the Money
Delves into the details of the illusive man that lost
investors billions
Weaves stories of Madoff's past with those of the present
in an engaging and accessible style
Explores how the financial scam that Madoff ran cost
individuals and institutions billions of dollars
Other titles by Oppenheimer: Toy Monster: The Big, Bad
World of Mattel, and Just Desserts: Martha Stewart the
Unauthorized Biography
While there may be other books on the Bernie Madoff
debacle, none digs as deep or goes as far to uncover the
truth behind the man, and his incredible scam.
