41196 : the Federal Prisoner Number That Changed My Life
Jeff and Kristen Snyder have been through it all! This is a story about a tragedy that involves facts, lies, deception, and an epic quantity of blatant fraud. It is a story that most people who were involved in would rather forget. But it all adds up to quite a story and somebody had to record it. Jeff Snyder is that person. This story orbits around greed, materialism, and the relentless pursuit of living the "good life" no matter what. It contains the drama of a Hollywood blockbuster, complete with expensive cars and jewelry, opulent homes in exotic locations, five star vacations, a six figure monthly entertainment budget, seven figure bank accounts, and an eight figure income. Eventually the good life turns sour as betrayal runs deep and deception, heartache, and federal agents take center stage. The story takes a dramatic turn when Jeff becomes undercover cooperating witness against the man who deceived him through fraudulent business practices. To write this story he saved everything; thousands of pages of documents; evidence... literally everything that would eventually be handed over to the FBI as cooperating witness. Jeff had the news articles, photos, thousands of faxes and emails, notes, and a keen memory that would recall the minutest of details from every meeting, event, or phone call that took place. Before facing his day of reckoning for hawking numerous Ponzi schemes, involving aliases, stolen identities, money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, grand larceny, bank fraud, and more, the criminal mastermind that Jeff would cooperate against becomes a man on the run, a fugitive in Central America, where he would eventually be caught, and tossed in an inhospitable jail that was filled with Somalian refugees, before being deported to the United States where multiple prison sentences would be served. Jeff talks about his moment of despair when he, himself, is released from prison as a completely broken man. It was in this place of dejection where the seeds of transformation took root and an oasis of comfort sprang forth as he finds redemption through adversity, and a realization that God has been with him every step of the way. Today, he shares his must read story as the platform from which he inspires and empowers others. This transformational saga will entertain you, as it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you jump up and scream as you sense another fraudulent act is about to occur. And every page will leave you stunned, dumbfounded, and completely entertained.
