Charles Dickens apologized for any similarity between factual events in Britain and Ireland and the context and character of his fictional banker, Mr. Merdle, who embarked on a fraudulent scheme now being compared to Madoff's. " fiction as the Barnacles and the Circumlocution Office, I would seek it in the common experience of an Englishman, Russian war, and of a Court of Inquiry at Chelsea. If I might make so bold as to defend that extravagant conception, Mr Merdle, I would hint that it originated after the Railroad-share epoch, in the times of a certain Irish bank, and of one or two other equally laudable enterprises. (>Dickens 1857>)."

McCann, Vincent. 2008-12-20. "Separating fact from fiction in financial fraud case." Scotsman.com News. "In fact, it is Mr Merdle, a banker in Charles Dickens's Little Dorrit. In Dickens's era there was little or no regulation of financial institutions. Now things are supposed to be different. Firms of accountants are paid to ascertain there are no irregularities in the operation of the business. Advisers are highly paid to ensure their clients' money is invested wisely. Financial watchdogs are supposed to regulate the financial sector. It is time any individuals involved in these groups who slept on the job or, worse, connived at the deception, were held responsible for the misery brought to so many individuals and pension funds."
