In the annals of financial crime, few figures loom larger than Bernie Madoff. For decades, Madoff ran a massive Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of an estimated $65 billion. He was eventually arrested in 2008 and sentenced to 150 years in prison.

Madoff's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the importance of due diligence. But it is also a fascinating tale of deception and betrayal. In his new book, The Incredible True Story of the King of Financial Cons: Library of Larceny, journalist Bryan Burrough tells the story of Madoff's rise and fall in vivid detail.
