Summary
Using forgeries and bogus identities, Matthew B. Cox - one of the most ingenious con men in history - bilked America’s biggest banks out of millions. Despite numerous encounters with bank security, state and federal authorities, Cox narrowly, and quite luckily, avoided capture for years. Eventually, he topped the U.S. Secret Service’s most wanted list, and led the U.S. Marshals, FBI, and the Secret Service on a three-year-chase, while jet-setting around the world with his attractive female accomplices.
Cox has been declared “one of the most prolific mortgage fraud con artists of all time”, by CNBC’s American Greed. Bloomberg Businessweek called him “the mortgage industry’s worst nightmare”, while Dateline NBC described Cox as “a gifted forger and silver tongued liar”. Playboy magazine proclaimed, “His scam was real estate fraud, and he was the best”.
Shark in the Housing Pool is Cox’s exhilarating, first-person account, of his stranger-than-fiction story.

Personally, I’m not much of a reader hence why I bought the audio book. The story kept you hooked and the reader captured it incredibly. Only disappointed that it didn’t last longer, will be reading more of his books.

Interesting story and the way of life.
Of course what he did was wrong, however in the end he was just a clever man that was outsmarting everyone. The way he was thinking was unlike everyone, he wasn’t taking no for an answer. Unfortunately, as always when you feel too comfortable in what you are doing you start making mistakes and that costs him some holidays behind bars. If he only decide to stay alone and not commit into relationships, who knows. Maybe that book will never show up as he could be uncatchable.
