A Gripping True Story of Greed and Survival
Charles “Scibby” Scibberas, a successful bond trader, is drawn into a dangerous financial syndicate. When the scheme collapses, he’s left with nothing—except powerful enemies who want him dead.
Caught between ruthless financiers, violent criminals, and suspicious regulators, Scibby must find a way out before he is arrested… or worse.
Think The Big Short after a line of coke, meets The Bank Job, with the added injection of truth.
A Life if Wealth... and Lies
Scibby is living the high life in Zurich—fast cars, luxury travel, and high-stakes trades. But behind the scenes, his world is crumbling. His first wife is chasing alimony, his second wife only cares about money, and his so-called friends are out for themselves.
The Syndicate
His stepbrother, Harvey, and ruthless partner, Noah Shapiro, introduce him to a secret bond-trading scheme. The money pours in—millions of dollars laundered through investment banks, private banks, and even the Swiss Post Office.
But when Harvey’s personal life spirals after his son’s tragic death and Noah’s demands increase, Scibby is forced into higher-risk deals.
