If you read the Wolf of Wall Street or enjoy the show Billions on Showtime or American Greed on CNBC, this book is for you.The story of the rise and fall of one of the small cap stock market's preeminent consulting firms. Set in the early 2000s, From Pennies to Millions tells the story of how a former Florida theme park worker, a former pool cleaner and a former New York attorney rose to dominance on the coattails of a tracking device, a piece of plastic rebar and a biometric thumb drive in a lesser known industry where the honest businessmen were outnumbered by swindlers, cheats and charlatans, looking to game a system where the rules were often more gray than black and white, to become one of the preeminent consulting firms for small publicly traded companies. With an insider look at the investor relations industry and small cap market fraud, these penny stock mavericks, who never became wolves on Wall Street while arguably the Gordon Gecko's of Pink Sheets, an unregulated quotation service and market for the trading of sub penny and penny stocks, learned that business partnerships built on friendships and family loyalty can be both the key to success and a recipe for failure."We were our own version of wolves of wall street, albeit on a lesser scale, billionaire boys club wannabe's, looking to make f-you money. If Jordan Belfort was the Wolf of Wall Street, then we were Panthers of Pink Sheets, Gordon Gecko's of penny stocks, and our company, Big Apple Consulting USA, the self-proclaimed number one financial consulting firm in the country. It is one thing for others to bestow a moniker, it is another thing to bestow the honor on yourself and make everyone around you believe it.""Good intentions were often masked by wanting, finding, signing and keeping, clients with a stock that was highly liquid and appreciated in value. It was greed with a humanitarian perspective."
