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.
Wow--this and the Fortune piece are the stories of the day. http://money.cnn.com/2008/12/29/news/newsmakers/zuckoff_madoff.fortune/
