About this listen
No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller is exactly what the title promises. This is more than another book about the Bernie Madoff scandal, this is a fast-paced, blow-by-blow, true-crime story that you have to hear to believe. In a true David and Goliath tale, the underdog number cruncher uncovers the largest financial fraud in history, and has to fight everything and everyone in the system to bring it down. Harry Markopolos and his team of financial sleuths tell first-hand how they cracked Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme yet, amazingly, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) refused to hear the truth for nearly 10 years. Told from the perspective of the ultimate whistleblower in modern corporate memory, No One Would Listen is bound to be the definitive narrative of this scandal.
This special edition includes an exclusive 10th chapter available only in audio, featuring testimony from three victims of the Madoff scheme who came in to the Audible studios to share their shocking and heartbreaking stories. In addition, David Kotz, the Inspector General of the SEC, speaks candidly about his investigation. Throughout the audiobook, you'll also hear scathing commentary from congressional leaders on the blatant failures of the commission. No One Would Listen is more than an audiobook. It's a lasting audio testament to the largest white-collar crime in history.

Brutal, brilliant
I know this all happened a decade or more ago but it still shocks. This book is a stunning denouncement of the SEC as it was, and clearly explains the numerous red flags the SEC ignored. I had to skip through half the chapter of the victims as it was too much to bear, which undermines the impact of this horrific fraud. Amazing book.

WOW!!! What a true story.
Fabulous narration by Scott Brick as usual. Harry should be put in charge of overseeing the complete overhaul of the financial regulation bodies in the USA. I'd love to hear a follow up of what changes have been made.

unexpectedly gripping
The equivalent of an audible page turner. Teeth grindingly frustrating tale of inaction and incompetence of the SEC coupled with the corrupt enabling of the financial world.

A financial thriller …with an unreliable narrator
I’ve seen criticism that this book is biased, and it’s easy to see how this, politely, not subjective.
But to me this added to it, it’s like a mystery where you know 80% of the facts and I had fun trying to fill in the remaining 20%.

Shocking & intriguing
Fascinating insight to the world of trading, held together by fraud & greed. The biggest shock for me was the incompetence of the SEC. Their treatment of Harry Markopolos was sickening.

Fascinating book on the Madoff whistle-blower
A comprehensive study on how the author uncovered the biggest Ponzi scheme in the USA and the inability of the SEC to investigate. Great narration.

unexpectedly gripping
I got drawn right in to this book. The world of finance is something I know very little about and usually have no interest in. Yet this was a compelling listen with sufficient but not overly technical explanations for the lay person to comprehend how and why events happened the way they did.
Nothing like a well narrated tale of a real life David versus Goliath. Definite thumbs up from me.

Brave and honest
I liked the honesty and the, above and beyond, perseverance of the author.
He exposes the greed and corruption within many parts of the financial sector and above all the stupidity and naïvety of the regulatory authorities supposedly there to protect investors.
His ideas for reform should be put in place immediately.

Phenomenal
Superb analysis of Madoff and his scheme. Couldn’t recommend it any more and should be required reading for any finance professional.
