About this product

Product Information

Ripped from the headlines of theNew York Times, Fakedescribes Kenneth Walton's innocent beginnings as a lawyer turned online art-trading hobbyist, whose satisfaction in reselling thrift store paintings for a profit soon became a fierce addiction to eBay. In a landscape peopled with colorful eccentrics hoping to score museum-quality paintings at bargain prices, Walton entered into a partnership with con man Ken Fetterman. Over the course of eighteen months they managed to take in hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling forged paintings and bidding on their own auctions to drive up the prices. When their deception was discovered and made international headlines, Walton found himself stalked by reporters and federal agents while Fetterman went on the lam, sparking a nationwide FBI manhunt. In this sensational story of the seductive power of greed, Kenneth Walton breaks his silence for the first time and details the international scandal that forever changed the way eBay does business.

Drop your mouse and read this book before you make one more bid!" -- Doug Noble, "Mountain Democrat", "Walton reveals the lunatic world of art speculation on eBay with a gripping tale of his own dizzying fall from grace. Insightful and darkly humorous, "Fake" is better than most thrillers, and more thrilling than any memoir I've read in years." -- Dylan Schaffer, author of "I Right the Wrongs", "Fakeis the real deal -- a vivid and illuminating sprint through the murky waters of online auctions, greed, and the makings of a con. Kenneth Walton's story is rapid-fire read for all, and a compelling primer for anyone thinking of buying or selling something valuable over the Internet."-- Franz Wisner,New York Timesbestselling author ofHoneymoon with My Brother, "Fakeis the real deal -- a vivid and illuminating sprint through the murky waters of online auctions, greed, and the makings of a con.
