- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm not so much interested in investment banking as fraud, but this book was interesting anyway. It's really obvious that Fisher is a magazine columnist first, author second, because the book was subdivided into small sections and repeated itself regularly the way listicle writers seem to. Most of these lessons were ones anyone could learn watching an episode of Leverage (♥), though, so I'd recommend two or three other books on fraud/theft/counterfeiting before this one.
