A brilliant programmer, Max Vision Butler was a white-hat hacker and a celebrity throughout the programming world, even serving as a consultant to the FBI. But there was another side to Max. As the black-hat Iceman , he'd seen the fraudsters around him squabble, their methods inefficient, and in their dysfunction was the ultimate challenge: he would stage a coup and steal their ill-gotten gains from right under their noses.
Through his story, Poulsen lays bare the workings of a silent crime wave affecting millions worldwide. He exposes vast online-fraud supermarkets stocked with credit card numbers, counterfeit cheques, hacked bank accounts and fake passports.
