A little guy manipulates huge companies, perpetrates scam and after scam, eventually stealing over $14 million.
I always love when the financial big shots get hoisted on their own arrogant petards. Sadly, their greed and stupidity end up hurting so many more innocent people.
He does get caught, eventually, but doesn't do anywhere enough time for the hurt he caused.
Sad commentary on both the effort some people will successfully go to to steal, and those that end up helping them along and we all pay the price.

After reading the first chapter I thought I was going to be disappointed but then things started happening and I was hooked. I became engrossed in the scams, the detail of the writing and the story line as Fonso moves from petty scam artist to the big time. Supposedly based on a true character this is a well written, well researched book. Engrossing.

I can't write a review as I couldn't finish this. The writing was atrocious. It wasn't even run through spellcheck. The story was awful. The characters were awful. The writing was even more awful. I found nothing redeeming in any of it to continue past a quarter of the way through.
