Disclaim and Disclose
A Memoir of Greed, Love, Loss, and the Relentless Fight for Truth
In the fall of 2010, my life imploded. Everything I’d painstakingly built—my reputation, a life of luxury, even love—was ripped away in a split second when twenty federal agents stormed my Manhattan apartment.
My only plea was not guilty. My only hope was justice. But how could I be Public Enemy Number One—implicated in a Panamanian drug cartel investigation—without committing any of the crimes? The truth was terrifying: a deceptive friend and business associate had entangled me in a nightmare, igniting a fight for my freedom and a thirty-year prison sentence.
But this isn’t only a story about money and power.
It’s an unflinching portrait of a fractured childhood, a strained relationship with my mother—gradually healed before breast cancer took her life—and the ripple effect of unmet love that led me into years of chasing affection in all the wrong places.
Set against the dawn of the Dot Com boom and spanning nearly two decades of seismic change in the financial world, Disclaim and Disclose pulls back the curtain on market manipulation, prosecutorial misconduct, and the personal cost of standing up to corruption. Through betrayals in the boardroom and heartbreaks in my personal life, I reveal the psychological toll of fighting for truth when the system is built to break you.
Raw, relentless, and deeply human, this memoir is as much about survival as it is about redemption. For anyone who’s ever been betrayed—in business or in love—this is the story that proves you can lose everything and still rise again.
Perfect for readers who love The Big Short, The Wolf of Wall Street, memoirs of overcoming adversity, true crime, and stories of personal resilience.
