Download or read book Carnival Games the Perfect Crimes written by Richard Margittay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written primarily as a training guide for law enforcement personnel, demonstrates how easily police officers can get sucked in by professional con artists. Secondly, the book was written to alert potential victims of the lack of police protection. Thought of by many as just "nickel and dime," the reality is that most midway games, which start with $2 or $5 per play, sometimes builds to more than $100 in losses. It was evident these openly brazen career criminals, who primarily target children these days, account for several million dollars annually in Michigan alone, while they proclaim that their good-natured fraud and gambling enterprises are not crimes at all, but merely "games of skill."

Download or read book Carnival Games 10 000 000 000 Hoodwink Racket written by Richard Margittay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chances are you have been ripped off at a friendly traveling carnival, set up at your local fair or festival, because you had been left unprotected by police. The intention of this book is not just to tell readers about the games which keep ripping them off, but most importantly to explain the clandestine behind the scenes workings of a not so friendly, well organized, criminal element. From the innocent looking and usually rigged, two to five dollars per play "Duck Pond," to the $10,000 contribution by the itinerant carnival owner to the state or national political action committee or candidate, the author, a retired police officer, specializing in carnival midway game enforcement, has been able to associate a portion of illegally obtained cash proceeds from anonymous transient weekend midway scammers to carnival owners, to public servants, and also to distinguished politicians. This 100-year-old entrenched system of confidence crime and public corruption still operates relatively unrestricted at weekend fairs and festivals in America. Police simply do not arrest carnival thugs or their politician pals. No one cares about duped children or teenagers since many civic leaders ultimately get a cut of the midway loot in some way, shape, or form. Because this traditional chicanery is actually endorsed by wink & nod carnival security (dubbed "carny-cops") and public officials, trusting carnival patrons have a high likelihood of being either swindled, pick-pocketed, or short-changed on American midways by anonymous serial criminals. Unfortunately for unprotected American children, all but a few police agents nation-wide are either untrained, dont care, or are on the take, and refuse to address fraud (theft by deception) and gambling violations on their anything-goes, hit & run, carnival turf. While crooked carnival owners operate these drifting mobile crime syndicates under the radar of federal law enforcement, few citizens know the full extent of the systemic immunity and corruption involved. Thus, victims of this multibillion-dollar racket continue to remain unprotected on 21st century carnival lots. The authors exclusive investigation describes, for the first time, evidence of facilitation of free-wheeling criminal acts combined with the curious contributions/payoffs which enable this annual crime spree. The author also uncovers crafty "payments" from culpable carnival owners and lists renowned U.S. politicians associated with the perpetuation of this ten to forty-billion-dollar per year, largely unregulated, rolling racketeer industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.J. takes the newly-initiated ghost hunter to the carnival, where there are more than enough fun and games, and women, to go around. EXCERPT: “I could let you play for free,” said R.J. She wrapped her hand around the girl’s fingers, where a forgotten ice cream cone had dripped bubble-gum flavor all down her hand. R.J. licked the ice cream, and then her eyes on the girl’s, dipped her tongue lower to lick ice cream off her fingers themselves. I thought I saw the girl shudder, though she was trying hard to hide it. “Just once though,” said R.J. She ran her red tongue over her lips to clear away the ice cream. “And you’d have to do something for me.” “What—what’s that?” squeaked the girl. R.J. leaned in close to whisper something in the girl’s ear. I watched her eyes widen and dart to me. Perfect. This 10,000 word novelette is intended for mature audiences.
