Since the very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, America has gone awash in all things pirate and pirate-related.
In fact, I recently read on a search marketing blog that the word "pirate" is one of the top ten most- Googled terms.
Seems everyone wants to get the skinny on these enigmatic criminals of the high seas known for commandeering vessels and wenches... stealing everything they could cart off, then burying their treasure in exotic places.
I admit to having some curiosity about pirates, so I did a bit of research myself.
I'm still reeling from the shock of what I stumbled across...
I discovered what I think is the least known, yet most insidiously evil kind of pirate; a pirate still operating today, perhaps silently stealing from you as you read this article. You are probably unaware of his very existence.
This pirate doesn't isn't a swashbuckler, nor does he carry a cap and powder pistol tucked into his belt. He doesn't rely on a parrot for information, but instead PARROTS misinformation ,using half-truths, a smart phone and a computer to find and plunder your treasure.
These scoundrels are what author Barry Dyke calls "The Pirates of Manhattan,"- bankers,brokers, and Wall Street insiders who are able to siphon off huge amounts of Americans' wealth without having to fire a single shot.
Eschewing eye patches and black boots for designer suits, these pirates peddle their poorly-performing products, such as mutual funds, bonds, and other suspect financial vehicles to a misinformed and confused public.
Masters of marketing and manipulation, the Pirates of Manhattan appear as "experts" on television and in print, saying things such as "buy term and invest the difference," "insurance is a poor way to preserve your assets", "only uncivilized people buy precious metals," "you need to risk to gain, " etc. etc.
Meticulously researched and documented, Barry Dyke's "Pirates of Manhattan" will give you an unvarnished look into the real motivations of Wall Street and Bankers; what they tell YOU to do with YOUR money versus what THEY actually do with theirs. You'll see the truth of how they've taken thousands of ordinary Americans life savings down to Davy Jones locker.
I was privileged to have the opportunity to interview Barry Dyke recently on Living Wealthy Radio. Check out the excerpt below... and if you've never read Pirates of Manhattan: do yourself a favor and get a copy NOW. You won't believe what you read...
