Summary of dean jobb's empire of deception

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 In 1922, Leo Koretz, a financial wizard, was honored by the friends and relatives he had dragged from the gutter. The dinner was held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, and the centerpiece was a plaster model of a seaway through a wilderness of mountains and jungle.#2 Leo Koretz, a friend of Cohn's, was a financial genius and a multimillionaire. He had started at the bottom, as an office boy at the law firm Moran, Mayer, and Meyer, and had slogged through years of night classes to earn a law degree. He practiced law, but his real talent was making money.#3 Bayano was a success, and the profits paid for an Arts and Crafts mansion overlooking the lake in the posh suburb of Evanston. He hired servants and sent his teenage son to private school. He was charming, with a quick wit and an ingratiating way of cracking jokes at his own expense.#4 Chicago was a city of superlatives. It was the railroad hub, and it was said there was more track in the Chicago area than in all of the United Kingdom and northern Europe. It was a city of crime, with more murders than any other city.
