Synopsis
The wildly successful online auction site eBay.com is a fantastic success story, and the company is now a part of mainstream American culture. In FAKE, former lawyer Kenneth Walton relates how he took advantage of the site and its customers, offering cheap paintings with forged signatures, whose prices he inflated by manipulating the bid process to his advantage--until he was discovered and caught. Walton paid a price for his crimes, and in this memoir he comes out as chastened, if not quite redeemed--though he seems to place a good amount of blame on what he sees as eBay's failure to police every posting on its site.
