About the book: "In the late 1980s, Atchison was a managing partner at what was then the Arthur Young & Co. accounting firm. He directed the audit of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan and was responsible for giving it a clean bill of health. Shortly thereafter, Atchison was handed a top executive post with an annual salary of almost $1 million at American Continental, Lincoln's parent company. At congressional hearings on the Lincoln S & L debacle, Atchison refused to testify, pleading the Fifth Amendment. Here Atchison tries to salvage his own reputation; he also disturbingly exploits current anti-Washington sentiment that turns government into the villain and wrongdoers into victims. His tone throughout is belligerently defiant; he portrays Keating as under siege from a hostile enemy. As Atchison tells it, Keating was 'extorted' by overzealous, vindictive regulators who regularly leaked confidential documents about their investigation because Keating dared to stand up to them." From Wikipedia: "In the 1980s, Keating ran American Continental Corporation and the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, and took advantage of loosened restrictions on banking investments. His enterprises began to suffer financial problems and were investigated by federal regulators. His financial contributions to, and requests for regulatory intervention from, five sitting U.S. senators led to those legislators being dubbed the 'Keating Five.' When Lincoln failed in 1989 it cost the federal government over $3 billion and about 23,000 customers were left with worthless bonds. In the early 1990s, Keating was convicted in both federal and state courts of many counts of fraud, racketeering and conspiracy. He served four and a half years in prison before those convictions were overturned in 1996. In 1999, he pleaded guilty to a more limited set of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud counts, and was sentenced to the time he had already served. Keating spent his final years in low-profile real estate activities until his death in 2014.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket.
