Download or read book Just Numbers on a Screen written by Owen Platt and published by La Fontaine Media. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. and Mrs. Marsden who created Pips Inc., the People in Profit System, were not the first to operate a Ponzi scheme by courtesy of the Internet - and they are most certainly not going to be the last. But for sheer boldfaced audacity they may well be remembered. Theirs was as elaborate a fraud as is seldom seen in the shady world of scamsters. Upfront and personal would be a way to describe their public posturing. Creating an elaborate web of seemingly legitimate companies, they lied so convincingly that thousands worldwide were convinced and poured their money into something that was promising to make them unbelievably wealthy. Rarely has the phrase "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" had a greater resonance, for the Marsdens were offering a remarkable 2% per trading day interest on the money. And they were believed.

Book excerpt: This book is about a young man named John who seems to always be down on his luck struggling to make ends meet, a young woman named Beth who wants to be a model, and her husband, Tom, who seems overqualified for any job he applies for.But on a rainy day in Los Angeles, John stops to help a young lady named Beth who was not familiar with the traffic woes in Los Angeles to reach her destination. Beth’s husband, Tom, was picking up a few things at the grocery store near their apartment. While he was paying for his groceries, he heard a reporter on the television at the market reporting on the lottery drawing that evening. The cashier asked him if he wanted to try his luck. Tom thought about it and then replied, “Yes, I think I’ll give it a try.” Tom walked out of the store feeling lucky and decided to have a beer at Hurley’s Bar and Grille. The television there was on full blast, and the reporter was calling out the numbers.Tom looked at his numbers in disbelief and yelled out, “I think I have the winning numbers!” Incredibly happy that he had somehow just won millions of dollars, he began running down the sidewalk and sprinted across the street to his old black classic Pontiac Trans Am. He looked again at his lottery ticket and called his wife. He listened to the phone as it began to ring. “Come on, Beth, answer your phone right now, honey.” Tom listened to her phone message, and at the sound of the beep, he spoke. “Beth, call me immediately when you hear this message!” Tom put his cell phone down and started up his Trans Am.A couple of minutes later, as Tom drove through the middle of the intersection with a green light, suddenly without any warning, there was a flash of light as his Trans Am was broadsided by a speeding car running through a red light at an incredibly high rate of speed, colliding with the Trans Am, trapping Tom inside and unconscious
Download or read book Rogue Trader written by Nick Leeson and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Leeson was arrested in 1995 for bringing Barings Bank to its knees, it initially seemed as if he had single-handedly crushed the company. Indeed, it was he alone who found himself in the dark confines of a Singapore jail, from where he wrote Rogue Trader. Now updated for the twentieth anniversary of the collapse of Barings, this is his story of a broken system; of a cast of characters blind to anything but profits - whatever the cost. Leeson's tale of boom and bust is an important reminder of the immense power the banking system held and, worryingly, still holds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-Enron era, corporate corruption has increasingly featured on the research agenda.

By analysing and describing the social psychological dimensions of this escalation, the book prescribes preventive measures that can be adapted and implemented by business organizations. Loaded with case studies and prospective solutions, Charting Corporate Corruption will be valuable to post-graduates studying business ethics, sociology and psychology, and to researchers seeking new theories and concepts in this field.

Download or read book The Philosphy of Peace written by Gino Aliji and published by epubli. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is humanity still fighting among themselves and destroying planet Earth in the process? It is because most of humanity in the modern age have lost touch with the ancient wisdom of our ancestors and are living gravely unbalanced lives. This imbalance has led to innumerable wars and conflicts both in the past and the present. Also, this kind of lifestyle has led to environmental degradation and the extinction of a plethora of unique species on planet Earth. It is time for a new worldview which puts wars and conflicts aside and instead embraces balance, peace and harmony. However, this can only be done by understanding basic universal principles governing everything in the cosmos and by realizing the important role humanity plays as a species in the infinity of the universe. It is time for a new era of peace and harmony, and that time is now.
