THE STING MAN

Robert W. Greene

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, and Jennifer Lawrence.
American Hustle is the amazing inside story of Mel Weinberg, one of the most fascinating conmen to ever live, and the incredible scandals he masterminded. Hustling his way from the streets of the Bronx to hawking bogus businesses around the world, Weinberg netted millions and famously dreamed up Abscam—the infamous FBI-run sting operation of the late 1970’s that would bag seven congressmen and one U.S. senator.

A veteran reporter of over twenty-seven years, Robert W. Greene was a Senior Staff Investigator for the New York City Anti-Crime Committee and an investigator for the U.S. Senate. As a reporter for Newsday, he headed investigative teams that twice won the Pulitzer Prize gold medal. He was also president of the Investigative Reporters and Editors Group. He died in 2008.
