No One Would Listen

No One Would Listen is the thrilling story of how Harry Markopolos, a little-known number cruncher from a Boston equity derivatives firm, and his investigative team uncovered Bernie Madoff's scam years before it made headlines, and how they desperately tried to warn the government, the industry, and the financial press. Markopolos details his pursuit of the greatest financial criminal in history, revealing the massive fraud, governmental incompetence, and criminal collusion that changed thousands of lives and the world's financial system. This book tells the story of Madoff's scam and the SEC's failings from those who saw both first hand. Despite repeated warnings to the SEC by Markopolos, Madoff was allowed to continue his operations. The book provides a vivid portrait of Markopolos and his team of financial sleuths, and discusses the impact of Madoff's scam on financial markets and regulation.
