Bernie Madoff was a legend on Wall Street. He helped create the Nasdaq and operated a highly successful brokerage firm. But at the same time, he was also running a secret hedge fund. Billions of dollars were pouring in from around the world. But he would eventually confess to his sons that he had been living a lie—that this secret fund was nothing more than a multi-billion dollar fraud—the largest Ponzi scheme ever.
