Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Depraved Finance
More than one million dollars have been paid to Wall Street lawyers to hush up the crimes perpetrated in the making of the Shipbuilding Trust, while the law authorities of the nation were winking.
A gang of financial, well-dressed thieves conceived a piece of financial plundering, with as much nefariousness and criminality as the most atrocious of frauds. They used the Shipbuilding Trust for their purposes. For the good of the public, the gang fell out by the way over the sharing of the plunder. One eminent member of the gang wanted to dispose of his share of the spoils to the unwary before the others, and thereby he upset the pillagers' har mony. To this, and not to the alertness of the legal authorities, we are indebted for the public exposure.
