Press Gazette Article On Investigating Bernie Madoff’s Missing Billions

Screenshot of a Press Gazette article titled “My five-month investigation into Bernie Madoff’s missing billions”, presented as a first-person account of an investigation into the trail of money connected to Bernie Madoff’s fraud. The article is relevant because it shows the kind of serious, long-form investigative journalism that sat behind Michael Leidig’s/CEN’s broader professional record, and contrasts with later attempts to reduce CEN’s reputation to a handful of contested viral foreign-news stories. Its value in the Source Library is that it helps document the wider context of investigative work, sourcing, persistence and accountability that formed part of the agency’s background before the BuzzFeed attack, and supports the argument that CEN should be judged by the full range of its work rather than by selective or disputed examples.
