The Money Suckers Walt Thiessen

Sub-prime Mortgages DID NOT Cause the Banking Crisis! Justin Knight, Vice-President of Operations at Hanover-Rush Bank, the largest bank in the world, is confronted by evidence of a secret conspiracy at the highest levels of the monetary and banking system. He sees a recording of a secret meeting that shows the crisis was planned well in advance by the country's financial leaders, leading directly to his daughter's kidnapping. The price for her return? The video and his silence! When a shadowy organization called the Agorist Underground rescues her, Justin must make a potentially life-changing decision. What will he do when faced with a choice between his conscience and his family's safety?The reader learns how risky lending practices did not cause the financial crisis. In fact, good loans did just as much, even more, to cause the crisis than bad loans did! Sub-primes are symptoms masking a much larger problem that the media, the politicians, and the bankers refuse to discuss at all: the core monetary system itself. Novelist Walt Thiessen pulls back the curtain to unmask a centuries-old conspiracy in this fascinating tale that teaches while it entertains. Born and educated in upstate New York, he became a bank teller for a few years in the early 1980s in Connecticut, an experience which led him to question the banking and monetary system itself. He lives today with his wife, Louise, in northern Virginia.
