A Jersey boy having a knack for numbers, a gift to make people trust him, and an all-consuming food cravings to be king of the business enterprise world, Tom Giacomaro could convince anyone of anything.

As an adolescent, Tom Giacomaro began working in the mob-laden New Jersey trucking industry. A charming, brash-talking salesman, he climbed the rates, and let his lust for the money and human relationships with NY and Philadelphia crime families send out him spiraling right into a world of drugs and violence. Compelled to be on about The King of Con: How a Smooth-Talking Jersey Youngster Made and Shed Billions, Baffled the FBI, Eluded the Mob, and Lived to Inform the Crooked Tale the lam in South Africa and European countries he returned a calendar year later-with an incredible number of dollars’ well worth of diamond jewelry stuffed in his underwear. And that’s only the start.

In his memoir, Tom details how he ultimately hashed out a deal with the FBI, agreeing to become unique crime informant to avoid jail time-only he somehow manages never to rat anyone out and, incredibly, continues his high-finance, shady dealings, luring celebrities and additional high-profile contacts to get millions in his new business endeavors. When everything undoubtedly comes crashing down, Tom is definitely thrown in jail for over a decade-yet, even behind bars, he’s able to get what he desires from anyone: the warden, the doctors, the guards, and his fellow inmates … and discovers a way to get released early.

Cowritten by Natasha Stoynoff, The Ruler of Con is the accurate story about a smart, streetwise Shirt boy who talked his way to the top and became richer and more lucrative than his wildest dreams. It includes an unforgettable look into the life of a man who became addicted to living life to exciting and dangerous surplus, massaging elbows with celebrities and criminal offense bosses, until he was humbled from the FBI, by the US Attorney, and by life itself.

Now, Tom is definitely back in his old NJ community. His mob cronies are phoning, his hands are itching to create billions again, and the united states Attorney’s office is certainly watching. Will he stay on the directly and small, or will he go back to his old methods and steal back his crown of crime as the King of Con?
