No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller is exactly what the title promises. This is more than another book about the Bernie Madoff scandal, this is a fast-paced, blow-by-blow, true-crime story that you have to hear to believe. In a true David and Goliath tale, the underdog number cruncher uncovers the largest financial fraud in history, and has to fight everything and everyone in the system to bring it down. Harry Markopolos and his team of financial sleuths tell first-hand how they cracked Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme yet, amazingly, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) refused to hear the truth for nearly 10 years. Told from the perspective of the ultimate whistleblower in modern corporate memory, No One Would Listen is bound to be the definitive narrative of this scandal.

This special edition includes an exclusive 10th chapter available only in audio, featuring testimony from three victims of the Madoff scheme who came in to the Audible studios to share their shocking and heartbreaking stories. In addition, David Kotz, the Inspector General of the SEC, speaks candidly about his investigation. Throughout the audiobook, you'll also hear scathing commentary from congressional leaders on the blatant failures of the commission. No One Would Listen is more than an audiobook. It's a lasting audio testament to the largest white-collar crime in history.

Brilliantly Recalled

A complex subject matter brilliantly recalled while exposing a government agency. Fascinating tenacity finally got Harry to the finish line.

Very interesting but very self righteous

This is a great topic and worth the read; however it is not written very well. Worse, The reader is terrible. He sounds like Chris Parnell from Saturday night live and from Rick and Morty. His voice is pedantic and annoying. This makes what would otherwise be a very interesting subject very annoying to listen to.

Otherwise, the material is fascinating. The lack of regulation from the SEC is incredible. However, Harry Markopoulos is a financial guy and not a writer. He’s a bit out of his element in writing a book like this.

On the other hand, what I’d love to see is the movie about this book. And I to, I am curious as to who would play Harry Markopolos.

Incredible!

Shocking story about the incompetence and negligence of the SEC. The way the account was written was captivating from the very beginning.

Great read

Narrators voice is a bit mechanical , robotic, but the story is good and sad.
A good story about Madoff.

loved it, didn't think I would

I started listening thinking I'd not finish it but the story really drew me in.

One of the best

Hands down one of the best books iv gotten on audible. The writing is brilliant... touches on so many subjects that sparked new interests. I was looking everything up and learning so much. The narrator is also without question one of the best iv ever came across. Thank you for this book!

One if the most interesting audibles Ive listened in years

First I was hesitant to start this book because I thought it would be extremely complex and even boring....... But it was extremely interesting, .... I didn't truly gradp how extreme of a fraud the madoff scandal was until i listened.... it shocks me that this is nonfiction and something like this actually happened and i think it is a story worth listening to

Harry for SEC Chair!

Seriously, someone this passionate and knowledgeable about financial underbelly of the Wall Street should be their Chair, not an attorney. Until then, in god we trust…

Great Information

I was fascinated by this story. I couldn't believe all the attempts to alert regulatory agencies to have Bernie Madoff investigated. I couldn't believe it was never done.

A financial thriller

Great book. Unfortunately too many regulatory agencies are like the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thank you Harry Markopolos.
