Description
From the author who brought you the massive New York Times bestseller
Bringing Down The House, Rigged is the startling, rags-to-riches story of
an Italian-American kid from the streets of Brooklyn who claws his way into
the wild, frenetic world of the oil exchange. Black Gold. Texas Tea.
Everybody wants oil but only a rare few have truly made a killing mastering
its intricacies. One of those lucky bastards is Johnny Castino, a ballsy
Italian-American from Brooklyn with an ego and a keen intelligence to match
his ambition. Rigged is his story: a startling rags-to-riches tale of an
ordinary kid turned Harvard grad who found himself caught up in the
ultimate high-stakes adventure filled with money, sex, exotic locales,
life-threatening danger, and extraordinary international consequences.
Moving from the streets of Brooklyn to Dubai, Las Vegas, Monte Carlo,
Jakarta, Moscow, and Shanghai, Rigged reveals how the business is run and
what happened when a man with solid gold cajones decided to flip a
business—and an entire Exchange—on its head.
