By all accounts Scott Newman had made it and was living the American Dream, until the FBI raided his office. In a salesman's world, he knew how to get ahead and that's just what he did. Determined to have more than what his blue-collar father ever dreamed of, Newman spent his days making more money than any of his competitors thought possible and nights jumping in and out of those same competitors dumpsters in an attempt to find new clients ready for their palms to be greased.

Shreds to Riches documents one man's climb to the top starting as a $250 a week jewelry salesman only to become the "Benjamin King" and the most successful closer in the lightbulb telemarketing business. A "roller coaster ride of nail-biting twists and turns," this is a hilarious and quintessential story of American white-collar crime – and it's nearly all true.
