Perfect for you if...

  • You're interested in true crime stories where the criminal actually changes rather than just getting caught.
  • You want to understand how intelligent people convince themselves (and others) to believe massive lies.
  • You're drawn to memoirs about genuine transformation, not just dramatic falls from grace.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a straightforward heist narrative. This is more introspection than blow-by-blow crime details.
  • You're sceptical of redemption stories and prefer your criminals to stay villains.
  • You want a quick read. At 337 pages, this asks for real engagement with Minkow's psychology.

About this book

Barry Minkow built a multi-million dollar corporation while still a teenager, acquiring bank accounts, a Ferrari, and a mansion. The entire enterprise was fraudulent. His company was exposed as a $300-million fraud, leading to over seven years in federal prison. Upon release, he owed victims $26 million. Cleaning Up chronicles Minkow's transition from Wall Street executive to federal inmate to FBI trainer and senior pastor. The book documents his shift from con man to fraud investigator. As cofounder of the Fraud Discovery Institute, he has since uncovered over a billion dollars in investment scams. The narrative presents Minkow's story as one of redemption, second chances, and restitution.
