(Before It's News)

Last Friday, I was interviewed by Lauren Lyster on Capital Account and described why it’s becoming easier for white-collar criminals to defraud their victims. My opening remark:

I’m happy to report, as a retired member of the criminal underworld, that fraud is good.  The fraud business is easy and fraud is getting easier.  The fraudsters have reached the top 1% of the American society…. Democrats and Republicans alike are doing their best to make fraud even easier.

The interview starts about 4:45 minutes into the video below:

Disclosure


I am a convicted felon and a former CPA. As the criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie, I helped my cousin Eddie Antar and other members of his family mastermind one of the largest securities frauds uncovered during the 1980′s. I committed my crimes in cold-blood for fun and profit, and simply because I could. If it weren’t for the heroic efforts of the FBI, SEC, Postal Inspector’s Office, US Attorney’s Office, and class action plaintiff’s lawyers who investigated, prosecuted, and sued me, I would still be the criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie today.

There is a saying, “It takes one to know one.” Today, I work very closely with the FBI, IRS, SEC, Justice Department, and other federal and state law enforcement agencies in training them to identify and catch white-collar criminals. Often, I refer cases to them as an independent whistleblower. I teach white-collar crime classes for various government entities, professional organizations, businesses, and colleges and universities. I do not want or seek forgiveness for my vicious crimes from my victims. My past sins are unforgivable.
