In 1988, Judge Joe O'Kicki was regarded by his peers as one of the most brilliant legal minds in the United States. He was newly remarried, sworn in as the president judge of a Pennsylvania county and on the fast track to a federal bench . . . Silently, however, a state police vice unit was in the midst of covert operation into O'Kicki's personal affairs.

Este libro—ganador del Premio de Periodismo Javier Valdez Cárdenas 2019—rompe el círculo vicioso de silencio y simulación y les pone nombre y apellido a las compañías señaladas por malas prácticas, explica los esquemas de la transa y las razones de la impunidad desatada.

The second in a trilogy, this collection features 18 of the world's most outrageous scams and hoaxes.

However, you won't find any defrauded widows or orphans in these stories; the victims are institutions or corporations quite capable of defending themselves, and the crooks who match wits with them are just as savvy. You could almost call it a fair fight!

For years, Monsanto declared that their product Roundup, the world’s most widely used weed killer, was safe.
