The 99 Strongest Banks in America, Paperback

Banking-in the U.S. and globally-has devolved into a colossal Vegas-like casino and bankers have become the ultimate "whale" gamblers. The global banking system today has an estimated $1.2 quadrillion dollars in a kind of monetary heroin called derivatives.* The figure is mind-numbing, but just to give you a sense of the size of this madness, here it is with the appropriate number of zeroes (15): $1,200,000,000,000,000. Or, it may be more entertaining if you think of it this way: If you had a job that paid you $1,000 per second, it would take more than 31 years for you to earn $1 trillion. A quadrillion is 1,000 trillion. It's a big number. And I repeat, there are now $1.2 quadrillion dollars in derivatives held by financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

John Truman Wolfe is the author of the internationally acclaimed Tom McKenna private eye series. His first Tom McKenna novel, Mind Games, was the winner of the Independent Newspapers Golden Plume Award for Fiction. His second book, The Gift, takes McKenna into the dark underbelly of Washington, D.C. lobbying and a secret agenda that had its beginnings in the final days of the Third Reich. His previous release--Crisis By Design: The Untold Story of the Global Financial Coup and What You Can Do About It, exposing the real forces behind global financial crisis, has become an Amazon Best Seller. Now, Wolfe takes us deeper behind the wizard's curtain again to examine the UPCOMING FINANCIAL CRISIS, his updated edition of Crisis by Design that includes the very latest insider information on the banking crisis in Cyprus and Greece and how it will eventually hit the shores of America. As alarming as the news may be, Wolfe also gives the reader plenty of solid how-to information to safeguard themselves and their family when it hits. Wolfe personally uncovered the criminal background of one of the most clever con men of all time. He has worked with federal law enforcement agencies, and through them, intelligence services of foreign governments. He lives in Los Angeles with his family and their 130 lb Akita, Sensi.
