Synopsis

No One Would Listen is now going paperback.  This is the story of Harry Markopolos, the whistleblower who discovered that crimes against investors were being committed by Bernie Madoff, whose Ponzi Scheme would ultimately become the biggest and longest-running financial investment fraud in history. Madoff's impact, both financially on individuals and institutions, continues to send shockwaves across the financial system and represents a major failure to investigate by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the nation's top market copy. The unraveling of the Madoff investment fund will go down as the crowning story of an era that has ended with the most troubled, turbulent, and uncertain global economy. How Madoff was enabled, by investors and fiduciaries alike, is nothing short of breath-taking and spell-binding. But how Madoff was allowed to operate by the SEC, despite repeated written and verbal warnings by whistleblower Harry Markopolos, is something that can only be told Harry himself and his team of financial sleuths.

Markopolos admits he is not politically correct, and he holds back no pu......more

Goodreads review by Sher on April 07, 2012

Everyone knows what a ?*&% / Bernie Madoff was, but how many people know that most of the damage he did could have been prevented by a simple phone call from the SEC to verify his trades several years before, and some 55 billion dollars before, his collapse? The incompetence of the SEC is legend. Th......more

Goodreads review by David on October 01, 2018

Harry Markopolos is seething with anger. You realize this by chapter two, and by midway through the book, he has fully given vent to his rage and contempt. If his version of events is correct, he has good reason. His anger is particularly directed at the SEC, which he repeatedly calls inept, incompe......more

Goodreads review by Randy on March 11, 2017

Harry Markopolous was a "quant" mathematician with a hedge fund in Boston in the late 1990s. His supervisor came to him with the results from a secret, unregistered management fund ran by the former chairman of NASDAQ, and asked him to devise a product that could compete with that fund's returns.
