The Trillion Dollar Conman: The Astonishing True Story of the Most Audacious Fraud in Sport - Ben Robinson - książka
Producent: Icon Books
The Trillion Dollar Conman, inspired by the successful BBC 5Live podcast, unfolds the incredible saga of an international fraud that defies belief. In 2009, when Notts County FC, the oldest professional football club in the world, was battling to stay afloat in League Two, an enigmatic company claiming connections to the Bahrain royal family took over. This acquisition brought with it promises of substantial financial investments and high-profile player signings. Esteemed former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson was brought on board with the ambition of steering the team to the Premier League, marking signings like Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel. Yet, within mere months, the grand vision collapsed into chaos. The club, its players, and passionate fans fell prey to Russell King, a fraudulent mastermind with a criminal record. What began as a beacon of hope spiraled into one of the most jaw-dropping scams in the history of sport, involving fake identities, luxury cars, shattered dreams, and a devastating impact stretching from Nottingham to as far as North Korea.
