King of the Con • S01E01 • 2022

I checked in to what we
had to do to get an IPO. [Barry] Three years audited
financial statements, the Big 10 law firm, a CPA review of
your first quarter by
a Big 8 accounting firm. [Mark] So I just sat down,
and every single day,
using white out, a Xerox machine, an Apple computer,
and a Brothers typewriter. I just set out
making up documents. [Barry] And we were literally
cutting and pasting thousands of pages. [Mark] I think the FBI told me
altogether there was over
25,000 documents. And they were all fake. That's what
I showed to the auditors, that's what
I showed to the lawyers, that's what I showed
to the bankers. And they bought it

I checked in to what we had to do to get an IPO.

00:00:04.047 --> 00:00:06.895

[Barry] Three years audited financial statements,

00:00:06.897 --> 00:00:09.019

the Big 10 law firm,

00:00:09.192 --> 00:00:13.286

a CPA review of your first quarter by a Big 8 accounting firm.

00:00:13.288 --> 00:00:17.029

[Mark] So I just sat down, and every single day, using white out,

00:00:17.292 --> 00:00:19.998

a Xerox machine,

00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:21.478

an Apple computer, and a Brothers typewriter.

00:00:21.048 --> 00:00:25.998

I just set out making up documents.

00:00:25.001 --> 00:00:28.209

[Barry] And we were literally cutting and pasting

00:00:28.211 --> 00:00:30.303

thousands of pages.

00:00:30.305 --> 00:00:34.466

[Mark] I think the FBI told me altogether there was over 25,000 documents.

00:00:34.468 --> 00:00:35.934

And they were all fake.

00:00:35.936 --> 00:00:38.999

That's what I showed to the auditors,

00:00:38.001 --> 00:00:39.063

that's what I showed to the lawyers,

00:00:39.632 --> 00:00:41.432

that's what I showed to the bankers.

00:00:41.434 --> 00:00:44.046

And they bought it.
