Expected to be released in late 2025, Getting Sheared will blend deep investigative research with human stories of loss, betrayal, and resilience.

“Too often, stories like this get buried under legal settlements and sealed records,” says Martin Sumichrast. “Getting Sheared is our effort to bring transparency, accountability, and real stories to the surface — and we’re just getting started.”

This book will offer:

  • Exclusive Access to Uncovered Evidence: Documents and testimonies that have never been shared with the public.

  • The Human Cost of Financial Crimes: Firsthand accounts from victims who trusted the wrong hands with their life savings.

  • An Inside Look at a Systemic Failure: How oversight collapsed — and how it can be prevented from happening again.

  • A Blueprint for Reform: Practical insights into how individuals and institutions can better safeguard against fraud.

The story traces the high-flying lifestyle of the scheme’s mastermind, featuring private jets, casino kickbacks, and a massive life insurance operation entangled with one of the world’s largest insurers — all built on a web of deception.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of a groundbreaking investigative release that will challenge everything you thought you knew about white-collar crime and financial oversight.
