You have in your hands a veritable encyclopedia of global fraud, a bizarre and action-packed chronicle of human greed. On the pages of the book you will see kings and princes of countries that never existed and kings of swindlers, creators of fakes that have become a world sensation. Who in today’s Russia has not heard about the criminal cases of “MMM” and “Russian House Selenga”? But it turns out that the first financial pyramid in our country was built back in the century before last! The story about the dead UFO, the mystery of the dinosaur from Loch Ness, the story of the romantic “Poems of Ossian” will truly not let you get bored.
