Sinopse
Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened, shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving time in federal prison.
If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times, about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at its own game, Bill Lerach's story is it.
Resumo da Crítica
“John Grisham would have to struggle to invent a character as brilliant and unethical as Bill Lerach. It is a credit to the reporting talents of Patrick Dillon and Carl M. Cannon that, in Circle of Greed, they capture the felon-lawyer in all his charm and ruthlessness. Along the way they show how the plaintiffs' bar has transformed the process of class actions into big business.”— Wall Street Journal
“[A] revelatory yarn . . . In Circle of Greed, the authors do justice to their subject and have produced a book that proves the adage that truth can be stranger than fiction.”— Washington Times
“Mr. Dillon and Mr. Cannon have written the type of book that, like Den of Thieves and Smartest Guys in the Room, helps to explain an era.”— NYTimes.com/DealBook
