KING OF CONS: EXPOSING THE DIRTY ROTTEN SECRETS OF THE WASHINGTON ELITE AND HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES
Tonken, Aaron
2004 7311 Aaron Tonken arrived in L.A. in the early nineties with absolutely nothing, not even a high-school education, yet within a few years was friends and business partners with the leading lights of Hollywood and many of the most powerful people in Washington. Tonken produced some of the most extravagant political and charitable functions ever seen on either coast, honoring former Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Clinton and raising money for the preferred charities of the biggest names in showbiz. But hidden behind the glamour of these galas was a sordid tale of embezzlement and extortion, as Tonken became the central character in a tragic farce of corruption and hypocrisy in which stars, otherwise known for their philanthropy, shook down promoters; and politicians laundered campaign donations (in the former first lady's case, $2 million). Filled with scads of seedy details, including handwritten letters and transcripts of recordings of the celebrities' attempts at blackmail, this book tells Tonken's fascinating, mind-blowing true story--how he helped steal from the needy to fill the pockets of the greedy, in what is sure to be one of this country's biggest scandals Thomas Nelson 1595550003 / 9781595550002
