The Madoff investment scandal was a fraud scheme perpetrated by Bernie Madoff, a former stockbroker, investment advisor, and financier.

He is the former non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market[1] and the admitted operator of a Ponzi scheme that is considered the largest financial fraud in U.S.

[2] The miniseries aired on ABC over two nights, February 3 and 4, 2016.

On Metacritic, it holds a 61/100 rating based on 25 reviews.

The site's critics consensus reads: "Madoff boasts a knockout performance from Richard Dreyfuss, whose obvious enjoyment of the role helps make up for the miniseries' surplus of polish and overall lack of perspective.
