** It should also be noted that countless other celebrities have also been arrested on [=DWI=]s, but haven't been given a fraction of the attention that Bieber's incident got. The last celebrity DWI to cause a comparable media circus to Bieber's was Mel Gibson's back in 2006. The reason Bieber got so much attention is most likely because people are eager to make fun of him every chance they get.

One chapter ("Didn't Anyone Want a Pulitzer?" has Markopolos trying to get various reporters to listen to his clear evidence of Madoff's guilt. Time and again, he was ignored and while John Wilke of ''The Wall Street Journal'' was interested, his bosses refused to let him investigate or write about it. One explanation was that it wasn't a "sexy enough story" to go into while another seriously contended it would be damaging for the economy and investors. While some bloggers did report on Madoff, the media remained oblivious until his arrest in 2008 with the long delay costing even more investors their life savings.
