(watch ticking) >> stahl: welcome to "60 minutes" on cnbc. i'm leslie stahl. in march 2009, bernard madoff pleaded guilty to perpetrating what's believed to be the largest financial fraud in history. he received the maximum sentence for his crime, 150 years in prison. but while madoff is behind bars, there's still much we don't know about the scam which involved, by some accounts, a fraud of more than $50 billion. investigators are still trying to figure out who was involved and where the money went. this edition features some of the people most intimately familiar with madoff's schemes: irving picard, the court-appointed trustee charged with finding the missing money, some of the crooked financier's victims and the man who figured out madoff's crimes out before anyone else, harry markopolos. plus, morley safer examines why, even today, investors are so susceptible to con men. we begin with markopolos. at the beginning of 2009, he sat down with steve kroft for his first television interview. >> kroft: until the end of 2008, harry markopolos was an obscure fina

>> stahl: good evening. i'm lesley stahl and welcome to "60 minutes presents."holiday season, "an evening of music" with three of the most talented and distinctive performers we have met in the past year on "60 minutes." all of them have stories to tell, as well as songs to sing. and we begin with adele. the 24-year-old british singer is a music industry phenomenon that happens perhaps only once a generation. adele's sophomore album has sold more than 25 million copies-- ten million in the united states alone-- and spent more weeks at number one than any album in nearly 20 years. unlike most female singers of today, she is not selling herself with runway model looks or provocative clothes, and has no gimmicks added to her music. her popularity is due simply to the strength of her voice, and the emotional connection so many people have to her music. but at the height of her album's success, vocal cord problems forced her to cancel dozens of concerts and threatened to end her young career. earlier this year, when anderson cooper interviewed adele, she revealed how

and later, lesley stahl will take us to the world of internet gambling, which is against the law, yet is thriving in this country. but first, my report about one of the biggest scandals in the history of online gambling. a small group of people managed to cheat players out of more than $20 million, and it would have gone undetected if it hadn't been for the players themselves, who used the internet to root out the corruption. as a joint investigation by 60 minutes and the washington post revealed in 2008, it raises new questions about the integrity and security of the shadowy and highly profitable business that operates outside u.s. law. >> moneymaker puts his name amongst the greatest players in the game! >> if you had to pick the moment that the poker boom began, it was probably the day an unknown accountant named chris moneymaker won $2.5 million at the 2003 world series of poker. suddenly, every amateur with a hat, sunglasses, and a stack of chips saw themselves as the next big moneymaker. nearly 7,000 people competed in this year's tournament for $180 million in prize money, but
