BUSTED: A BANKER’S RUN TO PRISON
Richard grew up in poverty, but as an adult had everything a man could want: money, prestige, a beautiful home, fast cars, family. It wasn’t enough. Using his position as a leader of two financial institutions, he diverted more than $40 million. When discovered, rather than face imprisonment, he went on the run, changing identities and hiding. But away from everyone he loved, and on the brink of suicide, Richard learned what was most important. Spending years locked up, he lost everything, but found God and found himself.

Excellent fast paced book with plenty of excitement as Richard is wanted by the FBI and US Marshall's. His adventures on the run and in prison kept me on the edge of my bed. It was hard to put down before going to sleep. If you like crime stories with a good ending this book is for you. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the book is incorrectly titled. It should be: A Banker's Life in Prison, because most of this book was not about his run (life leading up) to prison but rather life in prison which is dreary and a bit tedious.

Fascinating redemption story!
"Busted" is a facmscinating read. First it enters you into a world of wealth and the finance world many do not know, and then without getting to bogged into accounting retells how people call into what is criminal and immoral activity. What is life on the run like? What's prison like for a banker? It's all there in vivid detail. It's told with backward looking self-examination and critique from the author himself. It all comes moves toward a point: Richards bottom of the pit type experience that opens him to experience the redemption that was always his need and he that experience guides him toward serving God in whatever the circumstance. The book also offers perspectives on law enforcement and the prison system from a first hand and honest perspective. If any of these are of interest to you, you'll enjoy this book!

Good solid read. Richard's life story flowed quickly. I enjoyed learning about prison life and what the author had to share about his experiences within the Federal prison system. His vivid memory surprised me on how he managed to recall the accounts of so many he met while in prison. I would classify this a must read for those who are interested in true crime and redemption.
