Chasing Madoff Exposing the Truth Behind the Infamous Madoff Scandal
The compelling story of Harry Markopolos and his ten year struggle to expose the harrowing truth behind the infamous Madoff scandal. Throughout the decade long investigation, Markopolos pieced together a chain of white-collar predators consisting of bankers, lieutenants, and henchmen, all linked to the devastating Ponzi scheme.
With danger apparent, Markopolos and his loyal team relentlessly continued to pursue the frightening truth. Finding himself trapped in a web of epic deceit, the once unassuming Boston securities analyst turned vigilante investigator now feared for his life and the safety of his family, as he discovered no one would listen.
"If you're wondering why so many people are cynical about Wall Street, the government and the system in general, CHASING MADOFF tells you." - Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Very good documentary about the people who investigated and tried to blow the whistle on Madoff, which they did on their own time and because they believed it was the right thing to do.
The primary focus is on Markopolos and how investigating Madoff affected his life.
No critical thinker can have a scintilla of sympathy for the greedy fools who gave their profits to Madoff to invest. Don't fall for their tears; shed a tear instead for their victims.
