Hartman Announces Release of Incredible True Crime Memoir BLIND GREED: From Ivy League to International Fugitive

True-Crime Memoir is “The Wolf of Wall Street” meets “Catch Me If You Can” - Available Now on Amazon and Audible

DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author Lawrence Hartman today announced the release of Blind Greed: From Ivy League to International Fugitive — a searing, stranger-than-fiction true-crime memoir now available on Amazon as a paperback and eBook, and on Audible as an audiobook. Part Wall Street thriller, part international crime odyssey, and part unflinching confession, Blind Greed chronicles how a promising Columbia Law graduate transformed himself into the mastermind behind one of the world's largest offshore banking networks — and ultimately paid the price.

About the Book

Blind Greed reads like a modern Greek tragedy — and every word of it is true. Lawrence Hartman's early career seemed destined for greatness: a coveted position at a Wall Street law firm, a prestigious law review editorship, even a produced Off-Broadway play. Then ambition curdled into greed. What began as a struggling internet start-up in Costa Rica evolved into a sprawling international criminal enterprise involving anonymous offshore bank accounts, pump-and-dump schemes, high-stakes online gambling, and a network of boiler rooms stretching from Barcelona to Monte Carlo.

Spanning three continents and more than a decade, the story accelerates from one near-miss to the next — a mob kidnapping survived by sheer audacity, a daring undercover sting operation brokered with the FBI, and a life lived under a stolen identity while an Interpol Red Notice hung over Hartman's head. His eventual capture in Nicaragua's notorious El Chipote prison — a place Google has little to say about and Hartman describes in harrowing detail — brings the adventure to its shattering conclusion.

Written in a sharp, darkly comedic voice reminiscent of "The Wolf of Wall Street," this larger-than-life memoir is as much a psychological study of ambition, addiction, and consequence as it is a white-knuckle thriller. Each chapter opens with a prophetic quote that casts a long, ominous shadow over the pages ahead.
