Bernie Madoff was an ambitious, unspectacular kid from Queens who wanted to make a name for himself. He sure did that. The man known as the "Monster of Wall Street" died a disgrace in prison after the elaborate ruse he had pulled off for decades was figured out.

He had a lot of help pulling off the biggest Ponzi Scheme ever, and a lot of important people looked the other way as he committed his massive fraud, ruining countless lives in the process. 
This incredible Shakespearean tale comes to life in the explosive One Degree of Scandalous episode, which features Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin. 
 
Jim Campbell, the author of the best-selling book "Madoff Talks: Uncovering the Untold Story Behind the Most Notorious Ponzi Scheme in History," was the only journalist to communicate with Madoff while he was in prison. Campbell garnered over 400 pages of handwritten correspondence depicting the greed and sociopathic behavior of a man hated by millions.

How did it start? Why wasn't it stopped in its tracks? When did it almost blow up before 2008? What is the extent of the carnage? How extensive was the human toll? Did Madoff's wife and two sons know what was going on?

If you watched the blockbuster Netflix docuseries "Madoff: Monster of Wall Street," this is where you can hear first-hand from the man who made that show possible. It's an episode you will want to watch multiple times!
