Bernie Madoff's Final Year: Prison, Legacy, and What He Said

Bernard Madoff did not begin with a grand confession. He began with a reputation. Long before the arrest, long before the guilty plea, he built a world where trust could be mistaken for proof.And once that world was in place, the lie did not need to shout. It only needed to look legitimate. By the time Bernard Lawrence Madoff entered the final stretch of his life, the fraud had already been exposed and prosecuted.
