The Trusted Advisor in Philanthropy: Lessons from Madoff

eSkeptic:

In this week’s eSkeptic, we present an insider’s look at Ponzi schemes by an expert on human gullibility who not only just wrote a book on the subject, but with considerable irony just lost a good chunk of his retirement savings in the Madoff Ponzi scheme.

This truly is a classic comic opportunity. Where is Oscar Wilde? The Importance of Being Skeptical, by A. Gullible Mann. Sad, though, how many good people and how many philanthropies were defrauded.
