Book 11: Empire of Deception. We all know about Ponzi. Fewer know about Koretz, who maintained a decades-long Ponzi-like scheme from Chicago, selling shares in a non-existent real estate and oil venture supposedly in Panama. I enjoyed this book, the author clearly did a lot of research. It suffers a bit from extensive quoting so it feels like every third sentence is in the voice of a different newspaper and some of the details feel extraneous-but-true (i.e. what people ate at a certain dinner)
