Appendix A: Where Are They Now? Appendix B: Timeline. Index. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: For Cindy-- Tom Rodgers was wrong! Best Wishes Jack Abramoff. Jack Allan Abramoff (born February 28, 1959) is an American lobbyist, businessman, film producer, writer, and convicted felon. He was at the center of an extensive corruption investigation led by Earl Devaney that resulted in his conviction and to 21 people either pleading guilty or being found guilty, including White House officials J. Steven Griles and David Safavian, U.S. Representative Bob Ney, and nine other lobbyists and congressional aides. Abramoff was College Republican National Committee National Chairman from 1981 to 1985, a founding member of the International Freedom Foundation, and served on the board of directors of the National Center for Public Policy Research. From 1994 to 2001 he was a top lobbyist for the firm of Preston Gates & Ellis, and then for Greenberg Traurig until March 2004. After a guilty plea in the Jack Abramoff Native American lobbying scandal and his dealings with SunCruz Casinos in January 2006, he was sentenced to six years in federal prison for mail fraud, conspiracy to bribe public officials, and tax evasion. He served 43 months before being released on December 3, 2010. Abramoff's lobbying and the surrounding scandals and investigation are the subject of two 2010 films: the documentary Casino Jack and the United States of Money,and the feature film Casino Jack, starring Kevin Spacey as Abramoff. The name Jack Abramoff is synonymous with Washington scandal, but the fascinating facts of his case are either largely unknown or wildly misunderstood. His memoir will serve as a corrective - an engrossing, informative work of political nonfiction that is also a gripping real-life thriller. The biggest surprise twist comes in the form of Abramoff himself, a smart, funny, charming, clear-eyed narrator who confounds every expectation of the media's villainous portrait. He's a perfect bundle of contradictions: an Orthodox Jew and upstanding family man with a staunch moral streak, caught in multiple scandals of bribery and corruption with an undercurrent of murder. Abramoff represented Indian tribes whose lucrative casinos were constantly under threat from proposed changes in law; though he charged the tribes many millions, he saved them billions by ensuring votes to support the livelihoods of their reservations. Much of Jack's share was funneled not into his own coffers, but to charities. Abramoff on the front pages could not be further from the Jack Abramoff who's ready to tell his honest and compelling story. From the Dust Jacket: In the span of 10 years, Jack Abramoff rose from near obscurity to become America's most powerful lobbyist. Congressmen line up to do his bidding, executives heeded his advice, and heads of government hung on his every word. But when scandal brought him down--ultimatedly casting him into disgrace and even prison--this power broker said nothing. Now a free man, Capitol Punishment is Jack Abramoff's autobiographical expose uncovering the mysterious and corrupt world of federal politics. He reveals just how broken the system really is while shedding light on the drastic corrective measures needed to repair it. Jack's back, and this time he isn't pleading the Fifth. Regarding the inscription reference to Tom Rodgers: Tom Rodgers (born July 28, 1960) was a Washington, DC, activist and advocate for Native Americans and tribal issues. He was an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, and is a nationally-recognized commentator on Native American issues, politics, and ethics. In 1994, Rodgers founded Carlyle Consulting, a governmental/media/public relations firm located in Alexandria, Virginia that represents the interests of Native Americans. Rodgers played an important role in the investigation that led to the conviction of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
