How to Steal A Lot of Money... Legally is a practical guide to investment scamming based upon true events and insights gleaned from over three decades forensically investigating over $1 trillion in assets managed by Wall Street. Edward "Ted" Siedle is a widely-read writer for Forbes, a former attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and America's leading expert in investment scamming. In 2018, Ted secured the largest CFTC whistleblower award in history―$30 million―and in 2017, the largest SEC whistleblower award of $48 million. Siedle was named as one of the 40 most influential people in the U.S. pension debate by Institutional Investor magazine for 2014 and 2015. He and Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki co-authored Who Stole My Pension? How You Can Stop the Looting.
Lying, cheating and stealing are so commonplace in life generally, and in the world of investing especially, that they are not the exceptions. Scamming mercilessly overwhelms any so-called rules and devours those who play by them. So, learning "rules" without learning the even greater larcenous "exceptions" makes no sense-it's reckless. Schools and professors who teach the "rules" alone are negligent and put students, at a minimum, at a competitive disadvantage, or, worse still, in harm's way.
For investors young and old, the choice is simple: "Either study Wall Street bad behavior and be forewarned, or risk losing everything you own," says the nation's leading forensic investigator.
