"A page-turner. Pavlo and Weinberg have captured corporate America in all its resplendent and frankly chilling glory."
Christopher Buckley, author of Boomsday and Thank You For Smoking

"Insightful. This book explains, but does not excuse, how people take the wrong path."
Frank W. Abagnale, author of Catch Me If You Can

"Reads like a novel...a chronicle of a young man's descent into financial fraud and family turmoil, with clear lessons about avoiding shady work environments, slippery slopes and sleazy friends."
Linda K. Trevino, Ph.D., Cook Fellow in Business Ethics, Penn State University

Armed thugs, duffel bags of cash, and cooked books aren't what Walter Pavlo, Jr. expects when the newly-minted MBA arrives at telecom giant MCI Communications in Atlanta to start his career as a finance executive. But to the higher-ups in the company, growth is the end justified by any means - including doing business with mobsters. Disillusioned, Pavlo consorts with a rogue MCI customer in a scheme to siphon $6 million of company cash to the Cayman Islands. In a dramatically-told tale that veers between the absurd and the disturbing, Stolen Without A Gun is a unique look into the dark shadows of corporate corruption and white-collar crime.
