The Gap: The Outrageous Story of how a Confidence Man Reinvented a Classic Con and Left the Mark Holding the Bag
Donovan Davis is the perfect mark, rich, naive and trusting to a fault. Completely unprepared for the savvy, slick talking, insideman and his roper. So unprepared is Donovan, he unwittingly falls into The Gap.
In a “long-con” reminiscent of The Sting, two bunko men modernize a classic rag-style “big-store” scam. Utilizing the complexity of the Forex market, they ensnare Donovan in their swindle, while fleecing nearly one hundred victims out of close to $20 million.
As the scheme unravels and the government closes in–millions are wired offshore. Suddenly, the victims’ funds are seemingly lost in a massive Ponzi scheme and the insideman makes his exit. But it’s all an illusion; there’s an innocent man in prison and the funds…they exist.
