Book Review: Harry Markopolos' "No One Would Listen" is a thriller about the Madoff scam

In his book, Markopolos revealed that if he had been threatened by Madoff, he would have killed him. Wow. This ought to be a great read. The perennial failures of the SEC to take any actions on complaints is documented here. We all know and are disgusted by our dismal government. As one Senator recently said, we need to kick out all the incumbents and start fresh. Thank God guys like Markopolos are brave enough to speak up.
