Publisher Description
Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened, shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney, Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving time in federal prison. If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times, about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at its own game, Bill Lerach's story is it.

"Terribly interesting. Loved reading about Bill, specially since it all took place in my backyard. Too bad such good intentions went south. Well written, full of details and a must read for the legal community. "

" Sooooooooo long. That said, it's a fun read for securities practitioners in California. Lots of guest appearances by current and former Bingham-ites! "

" A great look inside the man who used "fraud to fight fraud." Gets a bit dense at times with the overlapping legal cases. But overall, a compelling narrative about the rise and fall of Lerach. "

" I gave up about 44% of the way into the book. It was fascinating and told really well but the cast of characters kept expanding and I found it difficult to really maintain an interest in the topic. "
