As one of Washington's most connected
and notorious lobbyists, Jack Abramoff
knows firsthand the ins and outs of our
nation’s capitol – the behind-the-scenes
power-players and relationships behind the
handshakes, winks, and deals. Now, after
spending nearly 4 years in prison for fraud,
tax evasion, and conspiracy, Abramoff
sheds new light on his story of corruption
and intrigue that rocked Washington to
its core. The subject of multiple movies
and front-page articles, “Casino Jack”
finally presents his side– about bribery
and influence-peddling, the legalized cor-ruption
that still infects politics, and how a
charitable Orthodox Jew could rise so high,
fall so far, and learn so much along the way.
