A shocking expos of what really goes in Londons most famous five-star hotels and casinos: featuring a shady cast of con-men, bent hedge fund managers, prostitutes, ex-spooks, gullible celebrities, and old-money aristocrats.
Sam Israel was a man who seemed to have it all. Born into one of Americas richest families, he founded his own hedge fund, promising his investors guaranteed profits. But, after suffering devastating losses and faking tax returns, Israel knew the truth would soon be discovered.
So when a former CIA-operative turned conman told him about a secret market run by the Federal Reserve, Israel bet his last $150 million of other peoples money on a chance to make it all back. Thus began his crazy year-long adventure in a world populated by clandestine bankers, fraudsters, and gun-toting spooks issuing cryptic warnings about a mysterious cabal known only as the Octopus.
