F.L.A.G stands for Fraud, Lies, & Greed. This is also the name of a book, written by Anthony E. Ghee. It’s a story of how professional athletes become the victims of fraud.
Because professional athletes make so much money than normal folks and are in the news constantly, it also leaves them open to more than usual amounts of fraud.
Anthony E. Ghee is an attorney and investor who has practiced internationally and domestically. He’s provided counsel and advice to athletes and has also worked at a hedge fund worth more than a billion dollars in assets. He knows what to look for and how these criminals work.
Con artist prey on those they can scam and those that have something they want. Athletes are so vulnerable because they have people around them all the time. From fans to managers, coaches and family, they are open to all kinds of people taking advantage of them because of what they have to offer.
This book depicts tales of athletes who have fallen victim to fraud, exposes those who engage in fraudulent behavior and examines why and how they do it. I know that we hear things in the news about athletes all the time who have had their equipment stolen just so it can be sold. For example, the recent super bowl football player that had personal items stolen.
F.L.A.G. by Anthony Ghee is written in order to educate athletes on how to stay safe and what they can do to protect themselves from fraud. Who know, this book may even help some of the non-professional people who read it.
