At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was the worst financial crisis of the twentieth century as well as a crime unparalleled in American history. Yet the vast majority of its perpetrators will never be prosecuted, and those who were have received minimal sentences. In the first in-depth scrutiny of the ways and means of this disaster, this groundbreaking book comes to disturbing conclusions about the deliberate nature of this financial fraud, the political collusion involved, and the leniency of the criminal justice system in dealing with t

Every organization, bureau, agency, and corporation has fundamental analytical needs that traditionally require a significant amount of data integration and resources. Whether investigating money laundering, insider trading, insurance fraud, or terrorist behavior, the analytical processes and systems architectures are very similar. In fact, the types of patterns exposed in one domain can often be translated into another. This book reviews the commonality, framework, and infrastructures necessary to implement complex analytical systems. It addresses analytical approaches, technologies, and meth

At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was one of the worst financial crises of the twentieth century as well as a series of crimes unparalleled in American history.

Praise for Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control"Our nation is faced with dual alarming trends of record highs in white-collar crime and seemingly record lows in ethics. The solution cannot be left only to legislators, regulators, and law enforcement. It requires the attention of all of us in business to create a culture of compliance. This new book by Martin Biegelman and Joel Bartow is an invaluable resource to achieving the highest levels of compliance."--Kenneth J. Hunter, former chief postal inspector and former president & CEO of the Council of Better Business Bu

Walter Pavlo, Jr. was a young MBA rising quickly through the finance ranks at the nation’s second largest telecom company. With a beautiful wife, two kids and a promising career, he epitomized the American dream. Pavlo’s life took a dark turn when he became a willing participant in the company’s efforts to hide from investors and potential acquirers a mountain of bad debt run up by mobsters and other unsavory customers. Encouraged by higher-ups, Pavlo became accomplished at accounting gimmickry. Then the jaded young executive consorted with a colorful scam artist and others to use some o

It’s often said there’s nothing certain in life except death and taxes. According to two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalists Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, however, the latter part of that adage is now decidedly in dispute. The Great American Tax Dodge, the pair’s latest examination of U.S. systems gone awry, spells out exactly how massive tax fraud is currently costing the nation enough to provide health care for its 44 million uninsured citizens--and precisely why the problem will continue to grow at virtually all economic levels unless remedial me
