This is just a quick post.
One of Acrimoney’s regular readers sent this story about Franklin Sands, Florida’s minority leader in the State house. Sands lost $3 million to Madoff. The legislator is now working overtime to put his finances back in order. He describes his efforts in the linked article. I admire his attitude.

The last paragraph is the most striking part of the article. Sands on Madoff: ” ‘He just hurt so many people, and for what? He didn’t build anything. He didn’t create anything. He just brought shame to his entire family.’ ”

The New York Times describes my novels as “money porn,” “a red-hot franchise,” and “glittery thrillers about fiscal malfeasance.” Through fiction I explore the dark side of money and the motivations of those who have it, want more, and will steamroll anybody who gets in their way.
