So my book is about to be listed on Amazon, which is cool because I've been told a lot of people have been waiting to buy it there. It's also cool because it'll be exposed to a much wider audience, and I hope it brings in readers from all walks of life. That said, my royalties are going to take a pretty significant hit, and before it goes up on Amazon I wanted to give you guys a chance to save the money I'm going to have to give up to Amazon when it does. Basically it works like this: the book sells for $9.95 and Amazon takes $3 of that. I'd rather pass that money on to you guys (Jeff Bezos won't miss any meals because of it), so click the link below and enter the coupon code 3off at checkout to get the book for just $6.95:

If you haven't already bought the book and you need a reason to do it today, let me offer this one. My old buddy Arthur is about to go to prison for a long time (he's facing up to 40 years for fraud at his sentencing next month). As early feedback came in from readers of the book, I was surprised to find that Shooting Fish in a Barrel was one of the more popular chapters. It details what it was like to work at a somewhat shady commodities firm in the late '90s. What I didn't go into in the book was the crew in charge of this shop. Arthur was the CEO.
For a number of reasons that I go into in the book, I've worked for a lot of criminals in my career. It's not something I'm proud of, it just is what it is. Their trading platforms were as good as anyone else's and their money spent as easily, and the fact of the matter is they were the only ones who would have me more often than not. I never had to do anything illegal, so I just made a career of running a clean business in a dirty shop.
Eventually though, all these guys go down for something - usually fraud-related. I wish I understood it, but I don't. I guess my greed never rose to a level sufficient to make the risk of decades in prison seem worth the money. But I know a lot of guys whose did.
Anyway, after his sentencing I'm going to write a series on Art and what he was like and what led to his eventual downfall and all the guys he brought down with him. So if you're looking for a little context and to be better able to understand how an operation can be perfectly legal (by the letter of the law) and still screw people left, right, and center, then take the opportunity to save a few bucks on my book today and read up on my tawdry history.
