Part recent-history documentary, part puff-piece profile, Chasing Madoff details the efforts to uncover the titular scumbag’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme by financial analyst Harry Markopolos. As he attempted to inform the SEC and mainstream press about Bernie Madoff’s scam a full nine years before it came to light in 2008, Markopolos is a figure whose whistleblowing efforts are worthy of praise, and Jeff Prosserman’s documentary (based on Markopolos’s book No One Would Listen) digs deep enough into the number-crunching details of that inquiry to pay it adequate justice.
