It's kind of funny how willing everyone was to believe an admitted conman.
The book I read of his was "The Art of the Steal", and it wasn't really about his personal history, more about his work as an anti-fraud consultant drawing from real-world cases.

If the person later discovered your fraud they aren't likely to expose it because it would ruin their credibility. I have seen banks get taken by people and just sweep shit under the rug.
