Lied to Death: The Global Corporate Mafia

Seven years inside the room. Six months outside the empire. One month following the money.

From the Savings and Loan crisis to the GENIUS Act — how the same playbook keeps getting run, and why the people being bombed are now involuntarily financing the bombs through their own savings.

Part memoir. Part investigation. Part indictment.

This book connects four decades of institutional capture into one narrative: the S&L crisis of the 1980s, the Iraq War lies, the 2008 mortgage derivative scam, and now the privatization of the dollar through stablecoins, tokenization, and a war that funds itself. The architecture changes. The playbook doesn't. The difference this time is scale — and the receipts are public.

"The danger isn't the lie. It's the system that makes the lie unnecessary."
— Daniel Ellsberg, in conversation with the author, 2015
