From the values Madoff was taught growing up in the working class town of Laurelton, Queens to his high-life on Wall Street and the super-rich enclaves of Palm Beach and the French Riviera, bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer follows the disgraced money manager's trail as he works his way up the social and economic ladder, and eventually scams his trusting clients in a $50 billion Ponzi scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough Oppenheimer's in-depth reporting, you'll discover new revelations in this startling case, and become familiar with the trusting victims-ranging from non-profit Jewish charities to the likes of seemingly sophisticated individuals such as actress Jane Fonda who would \"like to shake Madoff until his teeth fall out,\" the scion of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire who lost a bundle and was forced to rent out rooms in his house, and New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg. There's even Madoff's own sister-in-law and talk show host Larry King, who apparently didn't ask the right questions when he invested. All lost their much-needed life savings, while others saw fortunes small and large evaporate in the greedy financial operations of one of history's all-time charlatans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMadoff With the Money\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelves into the details of the illusive man that lost investors billions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeaves stories of Madoff's past with those of the present in an engaging and accessible style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores how the financial scam that Madoff ran cost individuals and institutions billions of dollars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther titles by Oppenheimer: \u003ci\u003eToy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJust Desserts: Martha Stewart the Unauthorized Biography\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile there may be other books on the Bernie Madoff debacle, none digs as deep or goes as far to uncover the truth behind the man, and his incredible scam.\u003c\/p\u003e  Prologue.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e Beginning of the End.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/b\u003e Growing Up a Madoff.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e Bernie Hobnobs with the Wealthy, Strong-Arms Some Pals, and Courts \"Josie College\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e From Queens to Alabama, Scamming Homeowners and Hustling Stock.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/b\u003e Tying the Knot and Giving Uncle Sam the Business.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e A Borscht Belt Summer Camp Sets the Stage for Bernie's Ponzi Scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/b\u003e Moving On Up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8\u003c\/b\u003e The Bagel Baker Becomes a Financial Guru, and the Mob Boys from Rockford Pay a Visit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9\u003c\/b\u003e \"Whatever You Do, Kid, Never Invest a Penny in the Stock Market, Because It's Run by Crooks and Sons of Bitches\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 10\u003c\/b\u003e A Madoff Speaks Out and an Empty Promise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 11\u003c\/b\u003e Mr. Outside versus Mr. Inside versus the SEC.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 12\u003c\/b\u003e Life inside the Madoff Piggy Bank, Flashing the Plastic, and Losing the Farm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 13\u003c\/b\u003e A Family (and Sometimes an Office) Affair.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 14\u003c\/b\u003e Another Arrest, and Blood Relatives Get Taken to the Cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor's Note on Sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"... promises a series of exclusives.\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Independent,\u003c\/em\u003e August 17th 2009) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"... provides more evidence that we should have seen him [Madoff] coming.\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Times,\u003c\/em\u003e August 11th 2009)  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJERRY OPPENHEIMER\u003c\/b\u003e has written eight biographies of major American icons, from Martha Stewart and Barbara Walters to the Clintons and Kennedys, and has worked in all facets of journalism, from national investigative reporting in Washington, D.C., to producing TV news and documentaries.

From the one-time nobody who uses his cunning and street smarts, we see emerge a respected Wall Street titan, all the while leading a twisted life with multiple personas like a financial Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989551366373,"sku":"NP9780470624593","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470624593.jpg?v=1761784563","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/madoff-with-the-money-isbn-9780470624593","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
