George Graham Rice was one of the greatest scam artists in American history and his scams stood out due to both their audacity and brilliance. He was eventually convicted of mail fraud in 1911 and spent a year in prison during which he wrote this autobiography. An extremely entertaining and engaging account of his adventures, Rice’s autobiography provides insights into con artistry, securities fraud, and human psychology that are still relevant to this day.
George Graham Rice, born Jacob Simon Herzig, was a convicted stock swindler known as the "Jackal of Wall Street".
