Bernie Madoff, Steve Jobs, and Wall Street Greed [The American]

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Madoff didn’t seek money as a reward for his competence — he sought money to prove to others that he was competent. He aimed, not to build a great business, but to manufacture a reputation as a great businessman. He didn’t want to use his intelligence to create wealth, but to steal wealth in order to dupe others into thinking he was intelligent.
