Captured: How Bernie Madoff Became a Notorious Criminal

Dr.Docs' Take

Captured tells how Bernie Madoff, architect of the largest financial fraud in history, was finally brought down, focusing on the discovery and the reckoning. My refrain holds, the scandal was not that he was clever, it was that he was ignored. A whistleblower did the math years early and got nowhere. Watch it as a lesson in how the biggest cons survive by being too respectable to question, until the whole thing simply runs out of new money.
