THE TAKEOVER ARTIST


OUT OF TRUE

I built a million-dollar company from a backpack and a Google search. Three people took it. This is the receipt.

Real People. Real Events.

WARNING: This book was not written for you.

It was written for a judge. A specific one. Local. Sitting on the bench with jurisdiction over what you're about to read.

You just picked it up first.

If you're an attorney or a psychologist, buckle up. When you're done, pass it up the chain to a judge. It was designed as a last-ditch effort to land hard in the right hands. When it does, it's gonna land hard.

That's what the truth does.

I didn't write this so you would like me.
I wrote it because it happened.
