No name is more synonymous with the evils of Wall Street than Bernie Madoff. Arrested for fraud in 2008―during the depths of the global financial crisis―the 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. Based on exclusive interviews with all the players―the Madoff family and their associates, the Wall Street wheelers and dealers, the army of lawyers, analysts, and investigators, the victims of the scheme, and Bernie Madoff himself
Campbell is the host of the nationally syndicated radio show Business Talk
with Jim Campbell and his crime show Forensic Talk with Jim Campbell. He is
known for his hard-hitting interviews of leading figures from the worlds of
business, politics and sports. Known for "firsts," Campbell snagged the first
extensive interview with former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer after his
resignation; the first interview with former Tyco CEO Denis Kozlowski after his
release from prison; and the first broadcast interview with former stock analyst
Roomy Kahn, a government informant in one of the biggest insider trading busts
in American history.
