Madoff was taken away from his posh Manhattan apartment in handcuffs, accused of swindling thousands of innocent victims, including friends and family, out of billions of dollars in the world's largest Ponzi scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMadoff went to jail; he will spend the rest of his life there. But what happened to his devoted wife and sons? The people closest to him, the public reasoned, must have known the truth behind his astounding success. Had they been tricked, too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith unprecedented access to the surviving family members, wife Ruth, son Andrew, and his fiancée, Catherine Hooper, journalist Laurie Sandell reveals the personal details behind the headlines. How did Andrew and Mark, the sons who had spent their lives believing in and building their own families around their father's business, first learn of the massive deception? How does a wife who adored her husband from the time they were teenagers begin to understand the ramifications of his actions? The Madoffs were a tight-knit, even claustrophobic, clan, sticking together through marriages, divorces, and illnesses. But the pressures of enduring the scandal pushed them to their breaking points, most of all son Mark, whose tragic suicide followed in the wake of the scandal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuzzled by lawyers, vilified by the media, and roundly condemned by the public, the Madoffs have chosen to keep their silence—until now. Ultimately, theirs is one of the most riveting stories of our time: a modern-day Greek tragedy about money, power, lies, family, truth, and consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook is in excellent pre-loved condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book, Line, and Syncer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033506554026,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/1443\/5754\/files\/Madoff.jpg?v=1786415695","url":"https:\/\/booklineandsyncer.com\/products\/truth-and-consequences-life-inside-the-madoff-family","provider":"Book, Line, and Syncer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
