Nope, this book was full out some guy's gripe about the US government nailing their company for setting up an online gambling company. How totally unfair, dude, like... wow, man, the government is so unfair to shutdown their company and leave some other companies alone. I mean, even though they know it's wrong, and even though they use daddy's money for the startup money and hit up their frat bros & friends for big bucks (to the tune of $100,000) and even though they look for loopholes to skirt the edge of legality, that's totally hard work man! This is, like, grass roots, bro, they *earned* their money for sure... and women, and booze... and gambling... and drugs... (but not in the house, strictly verboten! they're not like the scummy Costa Ricans who live around them, no way). Yup, a true hardworking rags to riches story, minus the rags, and minus any ethical values. Basically, it's an absolutely perfect example of US entitlement.
In all fairness, the book flows pretty fast, is easy to read, and the audiobook narrator is excellent. Definitely recommend this book to all frat bros who also want to make big bucks fast and live a totally shallow life. ( )
