Great Story of Australia's Greatest Corporate Fraud

In the film "Wall Street" Gordon Gekko said "Greed is good, greed is right. Greed works!"Gordon Gekko is unfit to tie the sandals of Alan Bond.Bond built a $5Billion empire in Australia in the 1980's, starting in 1983 when he won the America's Cup. By the end of the 1990's he was bankrupt with millions of dollars hidden offshore in places that don't like to co-operate with bankrupcy trustees.Bond performed a miracle - he lost money selling beer to Australians.Paul Barry writes a rollicking yarn of a scoundrel of the highest order. A must read for the greedy or those who like to watch the greedy get away with it.
