Download or read book Wall Street Swindler written by Michael Hellerman and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn wind up running Wall Street swindles for the Mafia, hobnobbing with the big names of show business making and spending fortunes in a week--then turning informer for the U.S. Government and losing everything, including his own name and identity? It happened to Micheal Hellerman. the bright, well-educated son of a respected New York Banker. At age twenty-two, Mike was the whiz-kid of Wall Street, handling millions in corporate funds, moving on the fast track with some high class entertainers, rubbing soldiers with top politicians, financiers and mobsters. Making money was his passion and he didn't care much where it came from. He worked mind-boggling swindles, corrupting brokers in prominent Wall Street firms and using them to turn worthless shell corporations into $50 stocks overnight, calling on his friends in the Mafia for capital and protection. It was a fabulous racket, until the Feds got wise. Then Mike had to turn choose - turn informer for the government or spend the rest of his life in jail. Hellerman decided to sing. In this book he reveals what he told the government - a staggering tale of crime and corruption reaching into the highest circles of corporate finance and Washington Bureaucracy. He also describes the nerve wracking life of a protected witness with a mob contract out on his life - and his new beginnings under an assumed name and identity supplied by the government. Finally, Hellerman spells out in detail the shaky stock laws still on the books and shows how a clever crook can get around them to make millions under the table - all at the expense of small time investors. This is a book that unfolds like sensational fiction - but it's all true. What you will read here - Mike Hellerman's personal testimony - has already sent droves of men to jail and made Mike a fugitive from himself, and his past forever.

Book excerpt: "Today's hearing might sound like an episode of The Sopranos, but it is not HBO. It is real. We are going to hear the true stories about people getting bilked out of their hard-earned money by the Mob. I know from my own experience as a special agent in the FBI that the Mob will go wherever a dollar is being made. Today that is Wall Street. So it is really not surprising that organized crime is trying to suck some of the life out of the blossoming securities markets. The M-O-B has gone back to school and gotten an MBA. The wiseguys are getting smart. They used to play ponies. Now they are playing the markets and investors for everything they are worth. When I was in the FBI investigating the organized crime in Boston, the Mob was in shipping, racketeering, garbage, loan sharking and good old-fashioned shakedowns. Now they are moving from the old economy to the new, but using the same old tactics of intimidation, extortion and manipulation." --- Congressman Michael G. Oxley

Download or read book Neon Metropolis written by Hal Rothman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the Previous Edition (0 415 92612 2): ...lively and provocative...this book will teach you something startling on nearly every page... --The New York Times Book Review Like the Emerald City, Las Vegas glitters brightly in the vast Nevada desert, a haven for refugees from ordinary America. A hip, iconic, playground that exports nothing, it nonetheless earns billions from consumer services alone -- gambling, hotels, gaming, and entertainment. It is, historian Hal Rothman argues, the quintessential city of the future. As other cities try to mirror its success and huge, respectable corporations like Coca-Cola invest in a piece of the pie, the very traits that have ostracized Las Vegas in the past -- hedonism, money worship, and permissiveness -- have today made it America's fastest growing urban center. From the gambling-driven, mob-run Sin City of the 1940s to the corporatization of the Strip as a respectable family entertainment center after the 1970s, Las Vegas has shown incredible economic resilience and adaptability. The first full account of America's new dream capital, Neon Metropolis brilliantly shows how Las Vegas gambled on the post-industrial service economy well before the rest of the country knew it was coming, and won.
Download or read book AIDS Opium Diamonds and Empire written by Nancy Turner Banks and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a mistake to think that wars only concern armies involved in active engagement. Nothing is farther from the truth. The real forces of evil wage a financial war. The dark princes of debt finance have gained leverage over every important social, economic, and political institution-including the health care delivery system. In AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire, author Nancy Turner Banks draws the connections between free market strategies, the destruction of national sovereignty by the process of globalization, and AIDS as one of the health consequences of a neo-Darwinian philosophy. Through meticulous research, Banks found a medicalpharmaceutical- industrial complex that was taken over one hundred years ago by the titans of financial capitalism. Their aim was to create profit, not to conquer disease. This book of social history points to a cauldron of historical events that contributed to the HIV/AIDS crisis. AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire tells the dramatic story of a financial ideology that is damaging to everything that it means to be human. It is the story of profits over people. In the end, it is the story of hope and how we can regain our sanity and our health in a world gone mad.
