Anatomy of a Scam A Study of a Planned Bankruptcy by Organized Crime

Organized crime is renowned for its code of silence; the unavailability of material from government investigative agencies due to its sensitive nature makes the task of the researcher difficult indeed. One source which was used as the basis for the preparation of this case study is court testimony - both criminal and civil - in cases involving suspected organized crime figures. The task of using such sources is a tedious one. In excess of 8,000 pages of narrative testimony were read to prepare this paper, but the source adds an important measure to the further understanding of organized crime and its method of operation.De Franco, Edward J. is the author of 'Anatomy of a Scam A Study of a Planned Bankruptcy by Organized Crime', published 2003 under ISBN 9780894992148 and ISBN 0894992147.
