Reviews/Praise

“While too late for the victims of Bernie Madoff, this volume is ideal for anyone wary of encountering fraudulence in the investment community. Scott Thomsen’s casual delivery makes him sound like a friend who can demystify the complexity of selecting a portfolio manager. . . . Direct and to the point, Thomsen’s narration enhances a text written in everyday terms.”

“In the wake of Bernie Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme comes this book that helps listeners invest safely and identify financial scams big and small. As straightforward as it sounds, the book is surprisingly entertaining, featuring an allegory of a cautious investor, stories about fraudsters throughout history and the five rules to evade scams. Scott Thomsen delivers a vivid reading and bypasses the pitfalls of dryness and one-dimensionality that plague so many narrators of financial and business audio books. The material allows Thomsen to loosen his collar and convey the information (and help the medicine go down) with personality and panache.”
