The King of Sting: The Amazing True Story of a Modern American Outlaw Hardcover - 2008

by Craig Glazer

When Glazer was robbed while buying marijuana for his fraternity brothers, he decided to get even. He and partner Donald Woodbeck set up a series of fake stings across the country that netted them a fortune. It was a dangerous double life, one that does not lead to a happy ending.


From the publisher

Craig Glazer was an ordinary college student when he planned and successfully executed his first fake sting to get back at some drug dealers who had robbed him. The rush he got from the experience led him and a crew of 11 accomplices to mastermind a two-year, 33-sting spree that stretched coast to coast, posing as everything from local police to IRS agents and hotel managers. Glazer and Donald Woodbeck, his partner in crime, sniffed out some of the most sought-after drug lords in the country for the FBI and DEA like bloodhounds. For a while, the plan worked--until Craig's world came crashing down.
