Using forgeries and bogus identities, Matthew B. Cox - one of the most ingenious con men in history - bilked America’s biggest banks out of millions. Despite numerous encounters with bank security, state and federal authorities, Cox narrowly, and quite luckily, avoided capture for years. Eventually, he topped the U.S. Secret Service’s most wanted list, and led the U.S. Marshals, FBI, and the Secret Service on a three-year-chase, while jet-setting around the world with his attractive female accomplices.

Cox has been declared “one of the most prolific mortgage fraud con artists of all time”, by CNBC’s American Greed. Bloomberg Businessweek called him “the mortgage industry’s worst nightmare”, while Dateline NBC described Cox as “a gifted forger and silver tongued liar”. Playboy magazine proclaimed, “His scam was real estate fraud, and he was the best”.

Shark in the Housing Pool is Cox’s exhilarating, first-person account, of his stranger-than-fiction story.

Matt has a crazy story. The book is a good listen, but it needs to be re-done. Turn it into a radio lab type thing. Check it out. it’s worth the $15

Very exciting

I’ve been a mortgage loan officer since 1994. Most of our annual required continuing education deals with mortgage fraud and what will happen to us if we commit it. I had no idea how it was actually done until now. I’m glad I don’t have a greedy criminal mind!

Great story & Narrator

Wonderful & intriguing story, written well. Couldn't stop listening. One of those I just naturally binged listened to, without a single regret.
Narration was phenomenal. Not only completely articulate, but suited the subject matter perfectly.
I 100% recommend this one! Great listen & enlightening.

Phenomenal Book! Superb Narration!

It’s a great story that keeps you entertained the whole way through. Cox has lived a very interesting life and is a great storyteller. Someone who has been #1 most wanted by the fbi and pulled over by law enforcement with no troubles other then a speeding ticket. One of my favorite audibles!

Amazing read

Incredible story. I can’t wait for Zach’s book. I like the narrator but would have been pleased to hear Matt or Zach narrate each others books!

Giving less than 5 stars is a greater crime than anything Matt did!
