Product Description
With WorldCom, Enron, Global Crossings, and even Martha Stewart in the headlines, big business scandals are big news, and consumers want to know what can be done to avoid and even stop corporate fraud. In this eye-opening book, Barry Minknow, the one-time Wall Street wiz kid who rocked the financial world with one of its biggest scams, tells the riveting true story of how he turned from con to cop, turning his skills to outing crooks and investment scams, and even training FBI agents to do the same. Part autobiography, part expose, and part wake-up call, this book is a fast-paced trip into the world of corporate crime, investment scams, pyramid schemes, and accounting fraud with billions of dollars at stake. It follows Minkow through his multimillion dollar scheme, his stay in prison, and the life-changing events that followed--events that led to Minkow's becoming a pastor and cofounder of the Fraud Discovery Institute, where he has, to date, uncovered over a billion dollars worth of fraud.
