Lured in, McKenzie dove deep into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded. But after scratching the surface, he had to ask, "Is this all a total scam?" In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jacob Silverman for an investigative adventure into crypto and its crash. It is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of irresponsibility and criminal fraud"--

The Fallen Angels -- Epilogue. "For Yves Trudeau, the blood was all business. An assassin for the Hells Angels in the '70s and '80s, Trudeau was known as Apache, the Mad Bumper and the Mad Bomber. As a contract killer, he did his job so well that the bikers sometimes lent him out to other organized-crime empires in Montreal, including the east-end French gangs led by the deadly Dubois brothers and the upstart Irish Mafia in the west end. Yves Trudeau remains one of Canada's most prolific serial killers. When he narrowly missed being assassinated because he was in rehab, he turned government informant and confessed to his crimes, which included killing forty-three people. But as a witness, Trudeau was a disaster. His testimony led to so many acquittals that prosecutors avoided him. Award-winning writers Julian Sher and Lisa Fitterman tell the incredible story of how this assassin escaped the police and the justice system for over a decade. A compelling and revealing account of corruption, incompetence and murder, Hitman is based on extensive research and exclusive new interviews with police, lawyers and bikers who knew Yves "Apache" Trudeau..--

Policing Black lives : state violence in Canada from slavery to the present

Maynard, Robyn,

On state violence and Black lives -- Devaluing Black life, demonizing Black existence : anti-Blackness from slavery to segregation -- The Black side of the mosaic : slavery, racial capitalism and the making of contemporary Black poverty -- Arrested (in)justice : from the streets to the prison -- Law enforcement violence against Black women : naming their names, telling their stories -- Misogynoir in Canada : punitive state practices and the devaluation of Black women and gender-oppressed people -- "Of whom we have too many" : Black life and border regulation -- Destroying Black families : slavery's afterlife in the child welfare system -- The (mis)education of Black youth : anti-Blackness in the school system -- Against the romance of police reform : expanding police power while undermining Black liberation -- Futures beyond policing : making policing obsolete -- Imagining Black futures. "Robyn Maynard's bestselling Policing Black Lives offers a comprehensive account of the state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization, and punishment of Black lives in Canada. In this revised and expanded edition, Maynard exposes Canada's veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance to document how half a century of police reforms have expanded the scope and scale of policing and undermined Black freedom struggles in the wake of global Black uprisings in 2020. She traces the afterlives of slavery across multiple institutions and illuminates the state's role in perpetuating colonial dispossession, racial profiling, police killings, incarceration, immigration detention, deportation, exploitative migrant labor practices, and the school-to-prison pipeline. At the same time, Maynard foregrounds the ubiquity of Black resistance while offering new insights on how to build liveable futures without policing. Advancing a compelling vision for making policing obsolete and building new forms of safety, Policing Black Lives is an essential text that will guide and inspire activists, students, scholars, and all those working toward Black futures beyond surveillance and confinement"-- Provided by publisher.

Killers of the Flower Moon : the Osage murders and the birth of the FBI

Grann, David,

Maps on endpapers. BEMIS: Book club kit. Kit contents: 1 book club reader's group guide -- 10 regular print books ($16.95) -- 1 large print book ($33.50) -- 1 black+blue zippered canvas bag. "In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances. In this last remnant of the Wild West--where oilmen like J. P. Getty made their fortunes and where desperadoes like Al Spencer, the "Phantom Terror," roamed--many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll climbed to more than twenty-four, the FBI took up the case. It was one of the organization's first major homicide investigations and the bureau badly bungled the case. In desperation, the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including one of the only American Indian agents in the bureau. The agents infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest techniques of detection. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling, but also emotionally devastating." -- Publisher's description.

The Palestine laboratory : how Israel exports the technology of occupation around the world

Loewenstein, Antony,

Originally published 2023, with added preface. Preface: The Gaza laboratory -- Introduction -- Selling weapons to anyone who wants them -- September 11 was good for business -- Preventing an outbreak of peace -- Selling Israeli occupation to the world -- The enduring appeal of Israeli domination -- Israeli mass surveillance in the brain of your phone -- Social media companies don't like Palestinians -- Conclusion. "Loewenstein uncovers a hidden world in a global investigation, drawing on secret documents, revealing interviews, and on-the-ground reporting. He shows how Palestine became the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration, and brutality of the hi-tech tools of the 'Start-up Nation'"-- "For more than fifty years, the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an 'enemy' population--the Palestinians. Here Israel has perfected the architecture of control. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation drawing on secret documents, revealing interviews, and on-the-ground reporting. These 'battle-tested' technologies are exported to the highest bidders: the EU and US, as well as Russia and other pariah states." -- Back cover.
