"Last Word"-The Madoff Scandal Goes Literary

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, it was just eight days ago that financier Bernie Madoff's alleged Ponzi scheme came to light. Here's an interesting story. Two major publishers have now announced plans for books about Madoff. Harper Collins and Random House say the books are already in the works, both for publication in 2010. One of those authors has reportedly gotten a $250,000 advance for his work. That's a lot less than the billions that Madoff is believed to have scammed from his clients and friends. And Paul, how much longer do think before we hear about a movie about the Madoff scandal

KANGAS: Well there's already one entitled "To Catch a Thief" and Wall Street style we'd have to say "To Catch An Alleged Thief." All right.

GHARIB: The movie will be out soon, probably more than one, right?

KANGAS: Probably.
