His latest work, Identity Theft,explains how $300 million fraudulentloans in 2005 climbed to $500 millionin 2006 and risks two or more homesto repossession orders each lendingbusiness day.

It’s the fastest growing unregulatedand least litigated ‘White Collar’ crime.

The sequel turns fiction into factwith an explanation of ‘Title Theft’ and‘Identity Theft’ with illustrations andcode-words used by con-artists so thatpeople know when a scam is goingdown and what to do to safeguard theirwealth including recommendations forconsumer protection.
