The Whistle Blower's Dillemma: Confronting Fraud at AIG
The world of Wall Street and corporate finance can be complex and bewildering to many people. This world can involve strange new financial instruments, massive flows of money, and extremely lucrative compensation to its participants, all of which only add to the frustration that many feel when trying to understand this part of our economy.

The Whistleblower’s Dilemma is a true first-person account of a decent man who finds himself caught in the middle of accounting fraud. It speaks to the ordinary human questions that we ask ourselves whenever we’re confronted with a new tale of corporate greed. We think of the perpetrators and wonder:

Who are the people who made these decisions?

Did no one in these companies have enough decency to stand up and protest?

This insider’s account of one of the biggest corporate collapses in history taps into our anger and frustration about the economy and helps us understand how deception and fraud can be so widely tolerated. Along the way it provides sharp and often scathing snapshots of the bloated egos that populate the business world, the rewards the industry lavishes on its leaders, and the devastating cost to anyone who dares questions the party line.

This book has been professionally written, edited, and proofread.
