New York Times senior financial writer Diana Henriques brings an up close look at financial swindler Bernie Madoff to the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches Oct. 3. Henriques is author of the best-selling Madoff book Wizard of Lies and Barnes & Noble will host a book signing and sale during the event.
The noon luncheon is being held at the Cohen Pavilion at the Kravis Center, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach. Public tickets are $55 and must be purchased in advance by calling the Forum Club at: (561) 304-0570.
Madoff, who is estimated to have swindled friends, relatives and international investors out of $65 billion, made Palm Beach both his playground and prey ground. Henriques has largely specialized in investigative reporting on white-collar crime, market regulation and corporate governance. She led the New York Times coverage of the Madoff story since it broke and was the first journalist to interview him in prison.
