As you are reading this, banks are giving away millions of your dollars in gift mortgages. The banks are borrowing money from the federal government for mortgages, claiming the loans have ‘gone bad' and then giving the title of the property to ‘deserving individuals.' There is no federal check on these ‘bad loans' so the mortgages are free and clear—and tax-free. A Writ of Mandamus filed by the author in August of 2017 may end this practice. Beating Banks At their Own Game, is a fictional approach to explaining how the process works. The Appendix includes a collection of nonfiction documents sent by the author to the FBI, SEC, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Housing Finance Administration to STOP the practice of gift mortgages. Beating Banks At their Own Game is the saga of five people who use occupational and real-life experience in banking and real estate to seize control of more than 120 lots in a six-block area in Las Vegas using money that does not exist. They slide the land titles into a shell corporation and then sell out to a development corporation for 75% of book value. By selling below market value they know the sale will go quickly and quietly. But can they get the land and sell it before their scam is uncovered by greedy competitors who want in on the action, state banking auditors, the IRS and the SEC?

In today's world, much unlike the world of long ago, before the 1980s--where women probably and seemingly didn't play as many games and didn't scheme as much as the women of today--one can clearly see, witness, and attest to the ever-present and overwhelming amount of game playing and scheming ways of most of the females we know, know of, see, and interact with on a day-to-day basis. Most every man, at one point or some point in his life, has fallen victim to a game or scheme of a female whom he has either tried to get with or hook up with, and many guys get hit with games and schemes even with those that they are married to or in relationships with. Practically no man is exempt. We all at some point will find ourselves faced with a woman whose sole purpose is to either go for what's in our pockets or bank accounts, or to try to get us to do something for them for free or to get us to buy them stuff without them appreciating it and then turning around and buying us stuff too as well. That's a big part of the world we live in as far as men interacting with women, and the sole purpose of this book is to at least get guys to recognize when they are being played and to not fall for the simple games that women play twenty-four hours a day.
