"no one is that good" - god bless this man
-
Harry Markopolos is a true hero. He found the truth and tried to tell everyone. And nobody would listen. They looked the other way. Now people listen to him.
-
The SEC didn't turn Madoff in, his own sons went to the FBI. The SEC did zero.
-
That is a very intelligent man there. Highest respect he deserves.
-
Amazing piece. Unbelievable how Markopolis lays bare the incompetence of SEC, as well as its practices to only investigate after a major figure turns self in.
-
"Because people in glass houses don't throw stones" What a perfectly beautiful answer.
-
"It took me five minutes to know it was a fraud. It took me another almost four hours of mathematical modelling to prove that it was a fraud." I spilled my tea.
-
I love the shade at the end: "That's typically how the SEC does it."
-
Same in the medical profession. Everyone knows who the bad doctors are, but nothing happens if concerns are raised. The difference being that those raising the concerns have their careers ruined and never work again
-
this guy is absolutely what integrity is all about....he should be head of the SEC
-
I bought the book and it’s excellent. He tried for 10 years to get people to listen to him including the SEC.
-
LOVED one of the chapter titles in Harry's book: More Red Flags Than the Soviet Union.
-
I love the Power in Math, nothing more powerful than having a relationship with Numbers, PERIOD!!!!
-
I wish Harry Markopolos was head of the SEC
-
This guy Markopolos, Interviewer: “What if he’s just good?” Markopolos: “No one’s that good.” Interviewer: “Either way he was doing something illegal.” Markopolos: “Either way I knew he was going to prison.” Me: SAVAGE.
-
His book, "No One Would Listen" is well worth a read. This book goes farther to answer the questions of how and why Madoff did it than anything else I've found so far. Has anyone else noticed Harry bears a strong resemblance to Bob Odenkirk of Better Call Saul?
-
One of the best “60 Minutes” segments ever! And there’s been a lot of great ones!
-
When he talks, he calculates every word.
-
This man called the SEC out to filth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
So who at the SEC got fired for their incompetance. Everyone who signed off on closing the case against Madoff should have been fired. They were complicit in his fraud.
