ADVANCE PRAISE for RSKY BZNS: RSKY BZNS is a most interesting and fascinating read. It demonstrates vividly and accurately how fraud and conning can become addictive, dangerous, and destructive unless the con man changes his life. If he doesn't, the consequences for all concerned are tragic. - Frank Abagnale, Jr., author of Catch Me If You Can A gripping and intricate read; an interesting contemporary story of financial skullduggery, with several diverting flourishes-very pleasantly written. -Conrad Black, author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom, A President Like No Other: Donald J. Trump and the Restoring of America, and Flight of the Eagle, a Strategic History of the United States In his one-of-a-kind memoir/detective story, Paul Illidge doggedly unravels the darkly seductive, labyrinthine schemes of a consummate con man, made all the more compelling by the fact his quarry is his own younger brother. Leading us to a disturbing, stranger than fiction, Rosebud-like revelation, his expose not only performs a tour de force of personal tenacity but an act of public service. -James FitzGerald, author of What Disturbs Our Blood: A Son's Quest to Redeem the Past, winner of the 2010 Writers' Trust Non-Fiction Prize Paul Illidge's new book, RSKY BZNS, is an insider's view of a Bernie Madoff-like series of financial frauds and their mounting fallout. Illidge might have another hit on his hands with this well-crafted, fast-paced exploration of Ponzi schemes, the securities industry, and the perplexities of intergenerational mental illness. -Ian Mulgrew, Vancouver Sun author and journalist
