Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss Bernie Madoff and the Ponzi scheme which he got away with running for decades. He scammed thousands of people out of up to $60 billion dollars whilst being well regarded on Wall Street before it all came crashing down.

Plus bonus Q&A to celebrate one year of the pod!
