Non-Fiction Biography
Marc Rich -- the most wanted white-collar criminal in
America -- was one of the most successful metal traders in
the world. Before there was Michael Milken or Ivan Boesky,
Rich rose through the ranks to amass a multi-billion dollar
fortune in the halcyon days of high-flying commodities
trading. But he did it by cutting corners and pulling the
wool over the eyes of his competitors. Eventually his
companies pleaded guilty to 38 counts of tax evasion, paying
$90 million in fines. Rich fled to Switzerland, where he
faced a potential jail term of over 300 years if he ever
returned to the United States. This is a story of greed,
corruption, and money gone wild, in truly astronomical
proportions. Posing as a commodities trader, A. Craig
Copetas goes behind the scenes to give us a riveting,
true-to-life portrait of Rich's corrupt world and his
incredible escape from the law.
