Jeffrey Trachtenberg of The Wall Street Journal writes Friday about the business journalists who are already working on books about disgraced hedge fund manager Bernard Madoff.
“News Corp. also owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal.
“Separately, Bertelsmann AG’s Random House imprint said late Thursday that it, too, is acquiring the rights to a Madoff book. The so-far untitled work by investigative reporter Richard Behar is to be published in 2010.

The interesting thing is now that Madoff has been arrested; is he in jail?
No.
He is under "house arrest" in his multi-million dollar palatial home.
He recently complained that he could not go out to eat or visit friends
(He still has friends??)
The poor dear.
This in a country with the Death Penalty?
Astounding!
