Using forgeries and bogus identities, Matthew B. Cox - one of the most ingenious con men in history - bilked America’s biggest banks out of millions. Despite numerous encounters with bank security, state and federal authorities, Cox narrowly, and quite luckily, avoided capture for years. Eventually, he topped the U.S. Secret Service’s most wanted list, and led the U.S. Marshals, FBI, and the Secret Service on a three-year-chase, while jet-setting around the world with his attractive female accomplices.

Cox has been declared “one of the most prolific mortgage fraud con artists of all time”, by CNBC’s American Greed. Bloomberg Businessweek called him “the mortgage industry’s worst nightmare”, while Dateline NBC described Cox as “a gifted forger and silver tongued liar”. Playboy magazine proclaimed, “His scam was real estate fraud, and he was the best”.

Shark in the Housing Pool is Cox’s exhilarating, first-person account, of his stranger-than-fiction story.

Matt has a crazy story. The book is a good listen, but it needs to be re-done. Turn it into a radio lab type thing. Check it out. it’s worth the $15

Very exciting

I’ve been a mortgage loan officer since 1994. Most of our annual required continuing education deals with mortgage fraud and what will happen to us if we commit it. I had no idea how it was actually done until now. I’m glad I don’t have a greedy criminal mind!

Great story & Narrator

Saw Matt on KONCRETE podcast, so I had an idea of his life. Book was very detailed and so are his crime podcasts like “bent”. I recommend this book

I loved this book. I first became aware of Matt when he was on the Koncrete podcast. Ever since I’ve been following Matt’s YouTube channel, inside true crime. He is a great storyteller, and I’m looking forward to reading his books he has written for other people he met along the way.

Funny and Brutally Honest

Overall, this was a great listen. It did get a little in the weeds and repetitive regarding the super specific details of his grifts and felt a little braggadocios at times but that was his personality.

Well-narrated and written

Wonderful & intriguing story, written well. Couldn't stop listening. One of those I just naturally binged listened to, without a single regret.
Narration was phenomenal. Not only completely articulate, but suited the subject matter perfectly.
I 100% recommend this one! Great listen & enlightening.

Phenomenal Book! Superb Narration!

It’s a great story that keeps you entertained the whole way through. Cox has lived a very interesting life and is a great storyteller. Someone who has been #1 most wanted by the fbi and pulled over by law enforcement with no troubles other then a speeding ticket. One of my favorite audibles!

Amazing read

Incredible story. I can’t wait for Zach’s book. I like the narrator but would have been pleased to hear Matt or Zach narrate each others books!

Giving less than 5 stars is a greater crime than anything Matt did!

I enjoyed the book. while on the run from the FBI, don't bring a woman along.

Book was great
