Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street

Dr.Docs' Take

Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street reconstructs the largest Ponzi scheme in history, a sixty-five-billion-dollar fraud that hid in plain sight for decades while regulators waved it through. My point is always the same, the real scandal was not clever, it was ignored. Whistleblowers warned the SEC for years and nobody wanted the paperwork. The biggest cons survive not by hiding but by being too big and too respectable to question.

This documentary examines Bernie Madoff, the financier behind the largest Ponzi scheme in history, which swindled investors out of billions. Featuring insight from director Joe Berlinger, it explores how the fraud began and grew into a monster that devastated countless lives. The film pieces together how such a colossal deception went undetected for so long. Absorbing and revealing, it lays bare the machinery of Wall Street's most infamous con.
