About this product
Product Information
An entertaining, deeply informative explanation of how high-level financial crimes work, written by an industry insider who's an expert in the field. The way most white-collar crime works is by manipulating institutional psychology. That means creating something that looks as much as possible like a normal set of transactions. The drama comes later, when it all unwinds. Financial crime seems horribly complicated, but there are only so many ways you can con someone out of what's theirs. In Lying for Money , veteran regulatory economist and market analyst Dan Davies tells the story of fraud through a genealogy of financial malfeasance, including: the Great Salad Oil swindle, the Pigeon King International fraud, the fictional British colony of Poyais in South America, the Boston Ladies' Deposit Company, the Portuguese Banknote Affair, Theranos, and the Bre-X scam. Davies brings new insights into these schemes and shows how all frauds, current and historical, belong to one of four categories ("long firm," counterfeiting, control fraud, and market crimes) and operate on the same basic principles. The only elements that change are the victims, the scammers, and the terminology. Davies has years of experience picking the bones out of some of the most famous frauds of the modern age. Now he reveals the big picture that emerges from their labyrinths of deceit and explains how fraud has shaped the entire development of the modern world economy.

Reviews
"Dan Davies tells all these stories with verve and wit ... Much of the book is a romp through the crimes of scoundrels - Ponzi, Madoff, Keating, the Krays ... Yet what takes it from absorbing to excellent is the author's insight. Read Lying for Money and you will look at fraud in a whole new way. Actually, you will look at every market transaction you take part in in a whole new way." -- Sunday Times (UK), "An engaging and indispensable guide for novice fraudsters - and for those who want to keep out of their clutches." --John Kay, author of Other People's Money, "If you want to learn to fend [off] fraud, read this. And if you want to commit fraud ... don't. But if you absolutely must, first read this." -- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, "Swindling is never a black and white business, and Davies is good on the shades of grey in fraud-land." -- Financial Times, "Swindling is never a black and white business, and Davies is good on the shades of grey in fraud-land." -- Financial Times "Readers who like their true-crime stories laced with economics will enjoy these forays into the dark side." -- Kirkus Reviews, "If you want to learn to fend fraud, read this. And if you want to commit fraud ... don't. But if you absolutely must, first read this." -- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
