My two previous best-selling books (Google either / both of them):

A number of Twitter Followers and others with family members or friends in the military that have bought my book, have asked me recently if I would consider donating some of the profits of book sales to the Wounded Warrior Project. And the easy answer is YES! We have a son in the military so nothing could be nearer and dearer to my family; I should have thought of this first!
So, we are donating 25% of the profits from book sales to Wounded Warriors and we are more than happy to do it!
If you are hearing of: Skullduggery! True Causes of the Financial Crisis for the first time and / or you are among the 93% who DO NOT know precisely what, when, why and who orchestrated the
worst recession since the Great Depression, keep reading! I am a just-retired Wall Street and Mortgage Banking Executive who was there.... right in the middle of the two industries that imploded, taking the economies of the world right down the toilet. I saw and heard things plus did almost 2 years of research and what I learned really made me angry and... I'm blowing the whistle and pulling zero punches!
FOR THOSE POLITICAL JUNKIES ON YOUR LIST OR THE BOOKWORMS WHO INSIST ON READING EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY A GREAT "WHO DONE IT" MYSTERY - This is a TRUE STORY FROM A MAD-AS-HELL WHISTLEBLOWER!
SKULLDUGGERY, True Causes of the Financial Crisis IS THE TICKET!!

QUICK! The aberration away from the 118 year trend line in the chart below is obvious. From
1890 to 1998, smoothing out the small peaks and valleys caused by recessions and the attendant recovery years, the average annual home price increased by about 3.7%. But from 1998 to 2006, the average price of a home in the U.S. rose by 86%! A thinking person MUST ask: "What the hell happened in 1997 to cause such an OVERT explosion in the price of homes?
If you can name the people, the Acts, the lawsuits, the dates and the ideologies of this orchestrated manipulation of the housing market, you are among the 7%. It is also clear it was a very quick BOOM and
BUST and the BUST caused the implosion of the U.S. and the GLOBAL ECONOMIES!!
Folks - this recession we are still living in, regardless of the "official" December 2007 to June 2009
period for this Great Recession, was caused by this equation:
Housing Boom = Housing Bust = Markets Implosion = Great Recession.
BUT... in the first 6 months of the HOUSING BUST, the media called it the... SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS and that was SPOT ON! Soon, very uncomfortable politicians and media turned the narrative to calling it THE FINANCIAL CRISIS! Why? To take the focus off subprime mortgages because they are the source and they are afraid someone will pursue the obvious question:
WHERE AND DID ALL THESE SUBPRIME MORTGAGES COME FROM AND WHO ARE THE IDIOTS THAT HOISTED ALL THESE TOXIC MORTGAGES ONTO THE BALANCE SHEETS OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ALL AROUND THE WORLD?! AND WHY THE HELL WERE THEY INEXPLICABLY RATED AAA, INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES?
IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, HOW HARD
WOULD YOU TRY TO COVER YOUR ASS AND ATTEMPT TO REWRITE HISTORY?
TO WHAT LENGTHS WOULD YOUR ZEAL TO ESCAPE THIS INFAMY GO? THE OBFUSCATION OF THE FACTS IS ONGOING... THE GUILTY PARTIES WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO PREVENT THEIR EXPOSURE!
My Credentials:
I am a former Merrill Lynch executive and I also built a 2-person small company from my basement into a thriving 310 employee mortgage banking operation in 39 states. (Yes! I Built it!) I was there, right smack in the middle of the industries that imploded the economy and caused The Financial Crisis.
From 2002-2005, I served on my state's Mortgage Association Board and was President from 2004-2005. I also owned a title insurance company with 21 employees and served on the Board of my state's RESPRO (Real Estate Services Providers Council).
Because of those two Board positions, I was in Washington D.C. 4-6 times per year with my counterparts from the other states. We were in more closed door meetings with Senators, Representatives, State Attorneys General, HUD Secretaries, RESPA's (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act - the laws and regulations for the mortgage banking industry) Chief Enforcement Officer and lobbyists from the largest banks and mortgage banks in the U.S. We saw and heard quite bit that had we known all of it at one time and connected the dots, we would have seen The Financial Crisis coming. But at that time, in the moment, we were too close to the forest to see the trees.
Then, on December 14, 2008, I was watching Scott Pelley of CBS' 60 Minutes program, and heard him refer to the Financial Crisis as "the hole that Wall Street dug." (See the 12 minute video at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUuROWEMjm0
I jumped from my chair and screamed at the television because I knew Pelley was lying to the American people! I started writing Skullduggery! True Causes of the Financial Crisis within a matter of days because people deserve to know the truth and history must record correctly the architects of the worst Financial Crisis since the Great Depression, and why they did this.
Did the guilty parties do this on purpose? It is my belief that they did but you can make up your own mind after reading my book, which is almost 500 pages long and represents 2 years of research to make certain I got my facts right and documented them for readers and historians.

So - the MILLION $$$ question: What caused the Financial Crisis?
And the most direct answer is: Subprime Mortgages
It's that simple and... that complicated.
The obvious next question is: Who created Subprime Mortgages?
Follow the intricate, myriad trail of bread crumbs woven throughout the book and you will know who, when, how and why the U.S. is suffering its worst (and man-made) recession since The Great Depression!
The primary purpose for writing this book was to make certain that I found all those breads crumbs, traced them back to the origin and exposed all the people who were involved in imploding the U.S. economy right in the middle of one of the strongest growth periods / boom times in U.S. history. My research connected the dots and led me to people, events and reasoning for all of this that I did not expect! As you might surmise, if I was surprised by almost all of this, the average American not from Wall Street and mortgage banking is surely going to be surprised and I predict also MAD AS HELL!
In the book, you will read about political intrigue, back room dealings, middle of the night signings of crucial pieces of legislation, very little-known connections of powerful people, 3 previous examples of politicians' cronyism - bailing out the banks and others after they made colossal blunders (at taxpayer's expense of course) and much more! This is Washington D.C. undressed and exposed like you've never seen or read before!
I moved to a gated community and am fending off threats and intimidation of all kinds because the people I have outed in this book are not happy I have illuminated them and highlighted their "contributions" to The Great Recession of 2007-2012 and counting.
The book will make you Mad-As-Hell but it will also put you into the 7% of the population that knows the True Causes of the Financial Crisis that will no doubt be taught in future history books.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Because some of you asked... YES - Barack Obama is in my Top 10 List in the Book that I refer to as: The Top 10 Chief Architects of the Financial Crisis
(and he is guilty on so many counts and in so many ways with regard to his fingerprints being all over The Financial Crisis.)
