Harry Markopolos and his team of financial sleuths discuss
first-hand how they cracked the Madoff Ponzi scheme No One Would
Listen is the exclusive story of the Harry Markopolos-lead
investigation into Bernie Madoff and his $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
While a lot has been written about Madoff''s scam, few actually know
how Markopolos and his team-affectionately called The Fox Hounds by
Markopolos himself, uncovered what Madoff was doing years before
this financial disaster reached its pinnacle. Unfortunately, no one
listened, until the damage of the world''s largest financial fraud
ever was irreversible. Since that time, Markopolos openly has
testified and questioned the enforcement and fraud investigation
capabilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission SEC,
shared a sliver of this page-turning story with 60 Minutes, and
become perhaps the world''s most visible and insightful
whistleblower on fraud and conflicts of interest in financial
markets. Throughout the book, Markopolos and his Fox Hounds tell
their first-hand story of investigating Madoff-with the help of
bestselling author David Fisher. They explain how they discovered
the fraud, and then how they provided credible and detailed
evidence to major newspapers and the Securities and Exchange
Commission SEC many times between 2000 and 2008, only to have his
warnings ignored repeatedly by the SEC.

determined team of financial sleuths, and what impact they will
have on financial markets and financial regulation for decades to
come.
