誰是柏尼．馬多夫（Bernie Madoff）？他又是怎麼搞出史上規模最大的龐氏騙局（類似老鼠會）？
自從這位紐約頗有地位的金融家，在長達數十年的騙局中，詐取親朋好友及外人高達650億美元〈高盛投資規模的兩倍〉的消息曝光後，人們就一直對這些問題感到萬分好奇。很多人不免揣測究竟發生了什麼，想必有不足為外人道也的內情，可是媒體記者始終無法得知馬多夫故事的全貌，不過本書一出，這些都不成問題。
本書作者《紐約時報》資深撰述黛安娜．亨利克，從馬多夫醜聞揭露的第一天起，便率領《紐時》團隊報導相關新聞。《謊言教父馬多夫》是關於馬多夫其人其事最權威的著作，取材來自前所未有的管道，以及與罪行相關各方、遍及各層級的百餘次訪問，其中包括馬多夫被捕後最先接受的幾次訪談。亨利克也參考各種訴訟、政府調查和法院檔案，以生動細膩的筆法，一一解開圍繞著這個故事的謎團。
《謊言教父馬多夫》是真人真事的金融驚悚小說，講述馬多夫在華爾街不同凡響的崛起，使他成為美國最受信賴和尊敬的證券自營商，也參與多次證券管理制度的改革，然後是形成強烈對比的，他加速邁向自我毀滅的戲劇化過程。針對馬多夫垮臺引發的痛苦和災難，包括自殺、生意失敗、家庭破碎、慈善事業停擺，及指標性的法律交鋒，還有這個醜聞帶給華盛頓、華爾街和社會大眾的教訓，本書均有最詳盡的記述和分析。
The inside story of Bernie Madoff and his ＄65 billion Ponzi scheme, with surprising and shocking new details from Madoff himself.
Who is Bernie Madoff, and how did he pull off the biggest Ponzi scheme in history?
These questions have fascinated people ever since the news broke about the respected New York financier who swindled his friends, relatives, and other investors out of ＄65 billion through a fraud that lasted for decades. Many have speculated about what might have happened or what must have happened, but no reporter has been able to get the full story--until now.
In The Wizard of Lies, Diana B. Henriques of The New York Times--who has led the paper's coverage of the Madoff scandal since the day the story broke--has written the definitive book on the man and his scheme, drawing on unprecedented access and more than one hundred interviews with people at all levels and on all sides of the crime, including Madoff's first interviews for publication since his arrest. Henriques also provides vivid details from the various lawsuits, government investigations, and court filings that will explode the myths that have come to surround the story.
A true-life financial thriller, The Wizard of Lies contrasts Madoff's remarkable rise on Wall Street, where he became one of the country’s most trusted and respected traders, with dramatic scenes from his accelerating slide toward self-destruction. It is also the most complete account of the heartbreaking personal disasters and landmark legal battles triggered by Madoff’s downfall--the suicides, business failures, fractured families, shuttered charities--and the clear lessons this timeless scandal offers to Washington, Wall Street, and Main Street.
