How to Steal A Lot of Money -- Legally: Clueless Crooks Go to Jail, Savvy Swindlers Go to Vail

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 author Robert Kiyosaki co-authored . 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.
