He was a former chairman of NASDAQ. Senators had dinner
with him. Charities trusted him with their entire
endowments. For forty years, Bernie Madoff ran the
largest investment fraud in human history — and nobody
who could stop it did anything about it.
This episode of Dark Money: True Crime Finance goes
inside the Madoff Ponzi scheme from the ground up.
How sixty-five billion dollars vanished, how one analyst
spent nine years filing warnings with the SEC and was
ignored every time, and how a single week in 2008
brought the whole thing down. We follow the money,
name the victims, and examine the psychology of the
most audacious fraudster who ever lived.
