Bent: How a Homeless Teen Became one of the Cybercrime Industry’s Most Prolific Counterfeiters
John J. Boseak and Matthew B. Cox true crime/memoir
INKED FROM HEAD TO TOE, with an addiction to strippers and Cadillacs, John Boseak is not your typical computer geek. He was, however, one of the most cunning scammers, counterfeiters, identity thieves and escape artists alive—and a major problem for the U.S. Secret Service’s war on cybercrime. With a savant-like ability to circumvent banking security and stay one step ahead of law enforcement, Boseak made millions of dollars in the international cyber underworld. Then, leaving nothing but a John Doe warrant and an empty bank account in his wake, he vanished, only to resurface as an upstanding husband and father, and hardworking middle-class citizen.
Boseak’s stranger-than-fiction tale of ingenious scams and impossible escapes makes Bent a true crime con game that will keep you guessing.
