Perfect for you if...

  • You're fascinated by high-profile scandals and want the intimate, human side of the Madoff story that documentaries don't touch.
  • You enjoy memoirs that grapple with moral complexity and personal regret, where the narrator isn't a hero.
  • You're interested in how powerful men manipulate those close to them, and how that power extends into private relationships.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a straightforward financial crime narrative; this is a personal love story tangled up with fraud, not a fraud chronicle.
  • You prefer to keep Madoff as a distant villain rather than understanding him as a complicated person.
  • You're looking for a redemption arc; Weinstein's story is one of disillusionment and loss, not recovery or triumph.

About this book

Sheryl Weinstein met Bernie Madoff in 1988 when she was approaching forty. At the time, she was a successful CPA and head of a major charitable organization, navigating a rocky marriage. Madoff, a prominent Wall Street figure, began pursuing her. She asked him to move slowly, and over the next five years their relationship developed through business lunches, hotel dinners, and private encounters that felt deeply satisfying to both. Weinstein was cautious about investing her money until the SEC cleared Madoff in 1992. After that, she committed fully—emotionally and financially—to their twenty-year secret relationship. Madoff once told her casually, "I'm not to be trusted," words whose significance she would only later understand. This memoir examines Madoff through the perspective of someone who knew him intimately. While other accounts focus on the scale of his fraud, Weinstein's account reveals the private man behind the public figure. She describes a relationship that provided both parties something missing in their own lives, ultimately ending in devastation when the truth emerged.
