It is less than a year since Bernard Madoff took his sons into his confidence about the true nature of his fund management business, in which they were junior partners, and they accordingly reported him to the US authorities. With the anniversary approaching, there are already several books available about America’s greatest ever fraudster. Most mention a figure of $65 billion, although, as Erin Arvedlund points out in the best of these books, Madoff: The Man Who Stole $65 Billion, this figure is misleading, since ‘it included phantom gains Madoff had been booking in client accounts over many years.
