Description: "In License to Steal, Timothy Harper and his Anonymous coauthor have succeeded in piercing the financial industry's code of silence, they show readers how successful brokers on the "Street Without Shame" peddle worthless stocks, take questionable companies public, manipulate share prices, generate bogus commissions, and raid clients' accounts for their own use.".

"Anonymous and Harper tell a true story of acts committed by a handful of rogue brokers - as well as the off-hand, everyday deceptions that are routine in the securities business - and the high life as it is lived by the young and rich in the canyons of Wall Street."--BOOK JACKET.
