Circle of Greed is the epic story of the rise and fall of Bill
Lerach, once the leading class action lawyer in America and now a
convicted felon. For more than two decades, Lerach threatened,
shook down and sued top Fortune 500 companies, including Disney,
Apple, Time Warner, and—most famously—Enron. Now, the man who
brought corporate moguls to their knees has fallen prey to the same
corrupt impulses of his enemies, and is paying the price by serving
time in federal prison.
If there was ever a modern Greek tragedy about a man and his times,
about corporate arrogance and illusions and the scorched-earth
tactics to not only counteract corporate America but to beat it at
its own game, Bill Lerach''s story is it.
