Unbelievable True Crime

Deep background and details on the biggest Ponzi scheme in American History. Truly horrifying but couldn’t put it down.

comprehensive

Exrensive analysis of how the fraud grew to be so large and the extensive investor network, but audiobook delivery is wooden and not interesting.

Good book but reader is annoying

The reader sounds like a blue blood woman. It’s not modern. Otherwise, the book covers everything about the case.

Great book could have been more how to book

Interesting. . Sad what a terrible thing to happen to all those people. Greed is really in all of us we just don't know how much.

Too Good To Be True

This was a comprehensive international study. I had no idea how Madoff’s network was world wide. It is hard to understand why the powers that be, who had several high level individuals who had warned the FCC. It is a tragedy for all who lost everything. I have read countless comments that those who invested with Madoff did it because of greed. These extremely wealthy investors have to do something with their vast wealth, and Madoff had an amazing reputation.
