CARLSBAD, CA – The Catholic Church has been under siege lately, as it seems a new priest is named every month as a suspected child molester. Attendance is down, as are collections at mass, and the once-gilded hierarchy is now being more frequently perceived as having feet of clay. Now, along comes author Wendy Quirk with a chilling tale of a funny and handsome gentleman who is a self-declared devout Catholic...and a con artist.
Under the guise of piety and with a wily manner of manipulating associates and friends, this professional con man bilked corporations, the public, and many close friends of huge sums of money. A short time later, he met and married a wealthy Catholic heiress –claim to the fortune of one of Americas leading technology companies, recently named as the "Company of the Year" by Forbes Magazine.
Quirk chronicles her 21-month relationship with frightening detail, explaining how he convinced major U.S. motorcycle event promoters that he was a major producer of events videos made at those biker gatherings. After hiring people to create and shoot the videos, he absconded with the funds and left most of the vendors and promoters that bought his story holding the bag, unpaid for their work.
