Updated and revised edition of late 1990s bestseller that enjoyed a recent second life in the wake of the Bernard Madoff scandal. Previous edition sold 5K units in early 2009 on strength of direct marketing and word of mouth among financial planners. New edition weaves details on schemes prepetrated by Madoff, Allen Stanford and Reed Slatkin in discussion of the mechanics and psychology of how investment frauds work. Focuses on understanding "the long con" and avoiding it.
