Cleaning Up: One Man's Redemptive Journey Through the Seductive World of Corporate Crime

After being convicted and sent to federal prison for a white-collar crime, a man finds faith and starts over as a pastor and fraud investigator.

Before he was even old enough to drink, he had bank accounts, a Ferrari, a mansion, a multi-million dollar corporation, and a desperate little secret . . . it was all a lie. Most of us can’t imagine life getting much worse than it got for Barry Minkow, the one-time Wall Street whiz kid who catapulted his company to stardom and success only to see it exposed as a $300-million fraud. Most of us can’t imagine spending more than seven years in federal prison and coming out owing victims $26 million. Most of us can’t imagine our careers changing from FBI target to FBI trainer, from CEO to senior pastor, from con man to con catcher. Or can we? We’ve all slipped up. We’ve all failed. Cleaning Up is Barry Minkow’s comeback story-a powerful a tale of redemption and inspiration, of second chances and setting things right. More than a decade from defrauding investors, today, as cofounder of the Fraud Discovery Institute, he’s uncovered over a billion dollars worth of investment scams.
