Story
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Story
Far more than a "business memoir", What Are the Odds? is a raw, authentic account by a man many thought would never rise above his serial, addiction-fueled failures. Mike's gripping narrative transports listeners from his small-town tavern with its colorful cast of "regulars" to Mexico and a drug deal gone awry. From Las Vegas casinos, where Mike won and lost fortunes as a professional gambler, to a jail-cell beatdown. From failed rehabs to his 20-year marriage, an ideal union decimated by addiction. And finally, to the redemption of the most shameful moment of his life.

Hounded by the tabloid media, driven from his self-made sanctuary at Neverland, Michael Jackson spent his final years moving from city to city, living with his three children in virtual seclusion - a futile attempt to escape a world that wouldn’t leave him alone. During that time, two men served as the singer’s personal security team: Bill Whitfield, a former cop and veteran of the security profession, and Javon Beard, a brash, untested rookie, both single fathers themselves. Stationed at his side nearly 24/7, their job was to see and hear everything that transpired.

This isn't some "Rah, Rah" bullshit book that's designed to make you feel good about having a f--ked up life. I wrote this book to show those of you out there that are in the struggle, what's possible if you work for it. Nothing in life is free. Everything costs money or time. Allow me to save you both by listening to this book. Some of the stories you will hear in this book will be hard to believe, but they are true nonetheless. I've replayed many of these scenes and scripts in my mind 1,000 times, trying to figure out how in the hell things went down the way they did.

But when officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot but a transformative journey for both men.

During Wall Street's last big bull market, there were brokers in $3,000 suits, billion-dollar IPO's, and 30-year-olds making $100,000 a month. And then there was Louis Pasciuto, who came from Staten Island at the age of 19 and discovered one indelible truth about himself: He was born to steal. This is the astounding, true story of the rise and fall of this fast-talking, street-smart wiseguy, as well as the insidious ways the Mob infiltrates, then controls, Wall Street.

Publisher's Summary
In his intimate diary, Jerome Mayne personally shares his life-saving lessons of ethics, morality, trust, and humility, with wit and passion. He was an aspiring finance professional on his way to the top. With his new family and his sights set for success, the world was his oyster. Lured by the prospect of big business, his career derailed when he joined forces with his future co-conspirators in a real estate finance scandal.
The nightmare begins with a hurricane of FBI investigations, criminal court, and prison. His journey twists and turns through the psychological collapse of prison, cancer, and addiction. Through it all, one woman's undying devotion helps him climb back from the hollow existence of defeat and self-pity, to a new life of integrity, trust, and self confidence.
This audiobook is a real lesson in corporate ethics and a story of overcoming adversity with self-persistence and the love and devotion of others.
Jerome Mayne hails from a small Catholic farming community in East Central Minnesota. Other than finishing high school 1985, he hasn't really completed much else. At one point, he secured a 21-month prison sentence and didn't even finish that.
Since high school, he had a kid, got married, had another kid, got divorced, went to prison, got out, had another kid, and then got married again. Somewhere in the middle of all of that he entered the world of real estate finance. A few years after electing himself CEO of the two companies he founded, the wheels came off and he fell to the bottom of society. He was arrested for his involvement in a white-collar conspiracy that stemmed from his entrepreneurial climb.
Adversity, some self-imposed and some not, has trailed him throughout much of his life. Surviving cancer while in prison was probably the most challenging. Needless to say, he has a few stories to tell. He has written one of them down and calls it Diary of a White Collar Criminal.

A "must-read" for anyone interested in true crime
This book is hilarious and scary because it shows how easily and gradually otherwise good and moral people can get caught up in a criminal scheme. On top of that, Jerome is funny and insightful. I have heard him speak twice before and people talk about his story for days and days. It is a great story about how we slowly suspend our intuition and common sense until it is too late. DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!

Every finance employee should listen to this book.
I read this book shortly after the Wells Fargo scandal involving the illegal opening of MILLIONS of fake bank accounts by employees (September 2016). And now the audiobook is out, and listening to Mr. Mayne's well-spoken and heartfelt account in his own voice adds to the experience.
My thought through the entire book was "Every single employee at every single financial institution should be required to read this book." It tells the tale -- yes, literally in diary form -- of Mr. Mayne's personal experience of mortgage business impropriety, the trial process, two-year incarceration, and ultimately freedom. (As well as an epilogue describing his speaking career of helping others in business explore ethical questions -- and avoid his fate.) Written in a very straightforward style, the book makes it easy to put yourself in his everyman shoes, and ask questions like "What would I do in this situation?" and "Could this really happen to regular people like me?"
And surprisingly, it also offers a genuine kind of hope -- that though the world can most definitely throw the book at you, perhaps unfairly, life goes on, and as long as we learn from our trials, use those trials as fuel for doing something positive, we give our lives meaning and hope.
Finally, I applaud Mr. Mayne for sharing such a humbling story, and doing his part to make the world a better place. Bravo, Mr. Mayne.

From the writing to the quality of the narration I enjoyed this from start to finish. Fascinating throughout that makes you desperate to start each new chapter. By far one of the best listens on audible. If you listen to one audiobook year then should be the one
