Pensions & Investments ME Arvedlund part of Crain layoffs

Erin Arvedlund

Pensions & Investments managing editor Erin Avredlund has left the publication due to the layoffs at parent Crain Communications.

She earlier had been enterprise editor and had been with the publication for slightly more than three years.

Arvedlund previously was a business columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, launching her “Your Money” column in 2011.

On May 7, 2001, Barron’s published her article “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: Bernie Madoff Attracts Skeptics in 2001.” Her deep-dive investigation questioned Madoff‘s scheme, his demand for investor secrecy and his “enviably steady gains.”

That early work in covering Madoff laid the foundation for her first book, “Too Good to be True: The Rise and Fall of Bernie Madoff,” was published in August 2009.

Arvedlund also wrote a book on the Libor scandal, “Open Secret: The Global Banking Conspiracy That Swindled Investors Out of Billions,” published in September 2014, covering how the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), a primary benchmark for short-term interest rates around the world, had been manipulated by major banks across the world.
