A story about the author's life, ethics, and thriving through prison. Paperny explains how his values began to change as he entered the career of  money management.  Without a strong core or center to guide his actions, he easily crossed the line from unethical to illegal behavior.  In prison, he learned that moral lapses are insidious, subtle and continuous. The more he stretched the truth the more he had to keep up the act, which is why one lie leads to another.
