Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street

Bernie Madoff ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history—$65 billion stolen from thousands of investors over decades—yet the fraud was stunningly simple and hidden in plain sight.

This series traces Madoff's rise to Wall Street power broker, revealing how he built an empire on a foundation of lies while competitors, whistleblowers, and investigators repeatedly alerted regulators who chose to look away. Through never-before-seen video depositions of Madoff himself, along with devastating accounts from victims and insiders, the series exposes not just one man's greed but an entire financial system willing to ignore obvious red flags.

A sobering reminder about responsible investing as investors continue falling for new schemes in cryptocurrency, meme stocks, NFTs and beyond.
