Nobody could believe it — the profits: $65 billion. Nobody wanted to believe it — the scam: a Ponzi scheme. The scam artist: “Uncle Bernie” aka Bernard Madoff.
Erin Arvedlund: She didn’t believe those profits either, so she investigated Madoff for Barron’s back in 2001, but the SEC wouldn’t follow up on her or anyone’s suspicions. And now, Arvedlund’s written about Madoff again. The book’s called Too Good To Be True: The Rise and Fall of Bernie Madoff, and on Thursday, November 12th, at 7 p.m., Arvedlund is in Memphis to discuss Madoff and sign copies of her book at the Memphis Jewish Community Center.
