A riveting look at the perpetrators, victims, and whistleblowers
behind financial crimes from acclaimed professor and documentarian
Kelly Richmond Pope. Have you ever wondered why Bernie Madoff
thought he could brazenly steal his clients' money? Or why
investors were so easily duped by Elizabeth Holmes? Or how
courageous people like Jeffrey Wigand are willing to become
whistleblowers and put their careers on the line? Fraud is
everywhere-from Nigerian "princes," embezzlers, and Ponzi schemers
to corporate giants like Enron and Volkswagen. And fraud is costly.
Each year, consumers, small businesses, governments, and
corporations lose trillions of dollars. We've become so accustomed
to hearing about fraud, we accept it as part of the world we live
in today-so much so, that our abilities to identify it and speak
about it are limited. No more. In Fool Me Once, renowned expert
Kelly Richmond Pope shows fraud in action, uncovering what makes
perps tick, victims so gullible, and whistleblowers so morally
righteous, while also encouraging us to look at our own behaviors
and motivations in the hopes of protecting ourselves and our
companies. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a better
understanding of-and perhaps more compassion for-perpetrators; a
renewed connection to victims; and an appreciation for those who
blow the whistle. Filled with fascinating stories and insightful
analysis, Fool Me Once will open your eyes and challenge your
thinking. It will inspire you to question your own preconceived
notions and commonly held beliefs about people while providing an
insider's view of a phenomenon that most of us fail to understand
until it's too late.
