"Canadians are not alone in benefiting from reading Swindlers. Al and Mark Rosen deliver the goods with clarity and surprisingly high entertainment value for a book on a subject commonly thought to be dull."

- Financial Analysts Journal

"No one on the investment scene in Canada today is pursuing these vitally important issues with the same vigor and experience as Al and Mark Rosen. In the process they are doing the Canadian investing public a significant service. Investors, analysts and all other users of financial statements should do themselves a service and read Swindlers."

- CFA Analyst Magazine

"Harsh words, indeed. But all too true, in my opinion. After working as a business journalist in Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton for three decades, I can only agree with the book's dire assessment. In Canada, it's investor beware. Even when caught with their hands in the cookie jar, most crooks get off with a slap on the wrist, or a negotiated settlement with no admission of guilt."

- Edmonton Journal

"Swindlers, scam artists, flim-flams and Ponzi schemes are attracted to Canada because they know they can get away with their shenanigans. Even if they get caught, they know they'll receive only a slap on the wrist. And chances are good that they won't get caught at all."
