World Class Crook

Please, do yourself a favor - don’t let this one get away!
My questions and concerns regarding how a scheme of this magnitude can happen have been answered. I had not been able to figure out how he pulled it off, but now it's very clear. Part smarts, part bravado and a whole lot of ongoing, consistent luck spanning a very long period of time did the trick! lol
The writing, extensive research, narrative and production of Ponzi Supernova is one of the best. Perhaps if we're 'lucky', there are more of this quality in the works. ;)

Really bad!

The audio of Madoff taped during the author's calls is slightly interesting, but overall the author put together what amounts to a very amateurish podcast, relying on cheesy drama to tell a story. He's more enamored with his coup of getting Madoff on tape than telling a story about Madoff or his crimes. The price of this product (free) should tell you all you need to know.
