review 1: Fascinating detailing of the Abscam investigation and the FBI's "secret weapon" con man, Mel Weinberg. The true story from which the movie "American Hustle" was based. The politicians in the movie had far higher morals and ethical standards than the real life politician scoundrels. It's both mind-boggling and depressing to learn the extent of corruption and self-centered personal grred amongst our US Congtressmen and Senators. A great deal of humor in the escapades that unfold in The Sting Man.
review 2: The Sting Man is the story of Mel Weinberg, a master con-man in the 1970's who eventually gets caught and works out a deal with the FBI to use his skills to help them bust even bigger prey. The first part of the book that detail Mel's different cons and how h... moree pulled them off is simply amazing. His later work for the FBI was no less impressive and was the backbone of the entire Abscam stings in the late 1970's. Overall, this is a very interesting book and it makes me even more interested in seeing American Hustle, which was based upon his work. less
