Billionaires & Ballot Bandits names the filthy-rich sugar-daddies who are super-funding the Super-PACs of both parties - billionaires with nicknames like The Ice Man,' 'The Vulture' and, of course, The Brothers Koch.

What emerges is the never-before-told-story of the epic battle being fought behind the scenes of US elections between the old banking sector who still support Obama and the new hedge fund billionaires like Paul Singer who support Romney.'
