I am half way through the book and it is quite interesting. Has anyone else read it. How fact based is it. Does " Big Daddy" in teh book aka Billy Walters really play the sinful amounts of money as portrayed. Thanks.

Great book, of course sitting next to it was "Bets Drugs and Rock n Roll" and for whatever reason i bought it too. It was the most horrible book i ever read, i couldn't finish the last couple of chapters...

Also, was it ever confirmed it was Walters this book is about? The idea of that makes sense

ya he mentions Premiere in Curacao which wire him back 100k when they found out he was moving money for walters. And the "big three" can't remember if they name names. There are a couple of chapters on offshore, they got ripped etc...

in the book, "nautica" = cascade

"premier" = pinnacle

highlights of the book is when BW is talking about main man at pinny

"be very careful with this guy, he's always gonna have one hand in your pocket":missingte

most on here already know this, but walters and "henry" at pinny were part of the computer group together back in the 80's
