This book is an expanded and revised edition of one of the most successful and widely circulated domestic business books of the last three years, “The World's Largest Scams and Scammers. The art of deception and deception as an art.” The first part of the book describes the origins of the scam genre. The second part tells about romantic swindlers who committed fraud not only for profit, but out of love for art. The heroes of the third part turned into pragmatists, and put their scams on stream. The result was a kind of “swindler's handbook”, a fascinatingly written collection of detective stories about famous scams and swindlers of the world. For a wide range of readers.
