Formerly chief financial investigative reporter on the "Sunday Times", Charles Raw explains the intricacies of fraud in a readable way. He has had access to Roberto Calvi's private papers and has spent more than five years unravelling the Banca Ambrosiana affair. He has his own controversial view about the circumstances surrounding the bizarre death of the main protagonist, Roberto Calvi.

A financial phenomenon: An investigation of the rise and fall of the Slater Walker empire

Harper&Row

In the fall of 1955, Bernard Cornfeld arrived in Paris with scant money in his pocket and a tenuous relationship with a New York firm to sell mutual funds overseas. Cornfeld, a former psychologist and social worker, knew how to make friends fast and soon targeted two groups of people who could help him fulfill his economic American expatriates who were looking to build their own fortunes and servicemen abroad who loved to live high-rolling lives and spend money. Using the first group as door-to-door salesmen and the second group as his gullible target, Cornfeld built a multi-billion-dollar and multi-national company, famous for its salesmen’s winning one-line “Do you sincerely want to be rich?” In this eye-opening yet entertaining book, an award-winning “Insight” team of the London Sunday Times examines Cornfeld’s impressive scheme, a classic example of good, old-fashioned American business gumption and guile.
