Book Description
It's a life to be envied and desired, filled with private jets, millions of dollars, and tons of cocaine. It is also a life many would kill for-literally. After paying his debt to society, Kilo fights to reclaim his place in that life. Fresh out of prison, he's back on the streets as lethal as ever. As the number one drug lord, he is the head of one of the most notorious cocaine and heroin operations in America. Kilo's power and wealth surpasses even that of Q, a man who is feared by all. But Q is much more than Kilo's rival-he is also the father of Tina, Kilo's beautiful half-African American, half-Colombian fiancee. Desperate to protect his place and power, Q coerces Derrick, a lethal, young fifth-degree black belt into becoming an enforcer in his empire. Now, no one is safe. Derrick quickly builds his reputation by kicking ass from Baltimore to Philly to Virginia. Just as quickly, his honesty, loyalty, and respect earn Q's loyalty in return-and this brings him no small amount of animosity from the other drug lords. Big R, Q's right-hand man, has put his new rival in his sights. Can both survive in this bloody society? Spanning decades tainted by murder, deception, lies, and greed, Street Certified continues the saga of Hustler's Greed.

Hustler & The Champ
Author: R. A. Dyer
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1461749018
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
In the tradition of Pulitzer Prize nominated, Positively Fifth Street, here is a riveting account of a high stakes shoot-out between pool’s two most famous personalities. It was Valentine’s Day, 1978, and Howard Cosell was hosting the long-awaited show-down between the best-ever tournament player, Willie Mosconi, and the game’s most famous hustler, Minnesota Fats. This was The Great Pool Shoot-Out, one of the most highly rated televised sporting events of the year, exceeding even World Series games and basketball championships. R.A. Dyer, author of the best-selling Hustler Days, which recounts the rise of pool during the 1960s, writes of the acrid, but mutually beneficial rivalry between Fats and Mosconi, and how the televised shoot-outs came to embody that rivalry, which was nothing less than a bitter rift within the soul of American pocket billiards. Fats and Mosconi were born the same year, but were vastly different characters: one stood for artistry, the other for show business; one brought dignity to pool, the other made it fun. They are without a doubt the two most important players ever to hold a cue. This is the ultimate tale of American sportsmanship. R.A. Dyer is a columnist for Billiards Digest, and lives in Austin, Texas.

Book Description
Recognizing common tactics used by hustlers involves staying vigilant for high-pressure sales tactics, promises of quick riches, exaggerated claims, and attempts to create urgency. It's also crucial to trust your instincts and do thorough research before making any decisions or investments. Some Examples: 1. Emotional Manipulation: Hustlers often play on emotions like greed, fear, or insecurity to influence decisions. 2. Flattery and Charm: They may use charisma and compliments to disarm and manipulate their targets. 3. Information Control: Hustlers may withhold important details or provide misleading information to control the narrative and gain an advantage. 4. Creating Urgency: Urgency tactics like limited-time offers or scarcity can pressure people into making impulsive decisions without adequate consideration. 5. Complex Jargon: Using technical language or complicated terms can confuse victims and prevent them from fully understanding the situation. 6. Isolation: Hustlers may try to isolate their targets from outside influences or advice to maintain control and prevent interference. 7. Overpromising and Underdelivering: They often make extravagant promises but fail to deliver on them, leaving victims disappointed and out of pocket. By recognizing these tactics, individuals can better protect themselves from falling victim to hustlers and make more informed decisions.

Financial Serial Killers

Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing Inc.
ISBN: 1616080310
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
By using true tales of thieves, swindlers, and fraudsters at work, Financial Serial Killers illustrates how these perpetrators get their hooks into investors' wallets, savings accounts, and portfolios—and never let go. The worst financial crisis since the great depression revealed that thousands of mom and pop investors had lost millions to so-called Mini-Madoffs. They are the thieves and conmen who had used phony financial acumen to steal investors' money, wipe out savings, and damage lives. Financial Serial Killers reveals the cons—from the grand to picayune—advisers cultivate with their victims—relationships that are essential to the fraud. Take the story of Lillian, the little old lady who invested with Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world. After her husband died, she thought her family's treasure of $24 million in stock controlled by Buffett was safe. It was—until a family relative introduced the eighty-nine-year-old grandmother to a pair of unscrupulous insurance agents who convinced her to reinvest her savings in life insurance—decimating her nest egg while padding the agents' pockets. Lillian's story, as well as other accounts of deceit and fraud are the core of Financial Serial Killers. Readers will learn how to better protect their family's wealth and savings after reading this book.
