This 1997 book by "consumer watchdog" Brett Champion was actually written by convicted fraudster Steven Comisar. In between stays in prison, he wrote the book in which he promised never to break the law again. However, after publishing the book, he was sent back to prison for the third time after swindling an elderly man out of $100,000 in an investment fraud. In the book, he described various mail order, telephone and catalog scams. Before returning to the Graybar Hotel, he agreed to film a video for a training course for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners on investment swindles and con schemes. He will be eligible for parole in 2018.
