Summary:
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 multibillion 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.
