This is the true story of the rise and fall of a fast-talking stock hustler, as well as a shocking portrait of the insidious ways the mob infiltrates and fleeces Wall Street.

Working out of seventeen brokerage firms Louis sold often worthless or nonexistent stocks to gullible retirees right under the nose of financial regulators.

But a shark wanted a iece of Louis's action.
