On my recent trip to NYC, we carved out 10 minutes with Barry and Michael to discuss my new book. Here’s what we talked about:
- Why I wrote this book
- Type I vs Type II charlatans
- How the match business led to one of the biggest frauds you’ve never heard of
- The guy who scammed Al Capone and why he’s one of my favorite characters from the book
- What types of market environments exist when people are more likely to be defrauded
- Why the wealthy and educated class are more likely to fall for a financial scam
