Lied to Death: The Global Corporate Mafia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184957791)

A former county commissioner, MBA, and Resolution Trust Corporation veteran traces the financial architecture behind the current Iran war - and discovers it was built four decades ago.

In Lied to Death: The Global Corporate Mafia, Arn Menconi maps how the offshore banking infrastructure that moved arms to Iran through BCCI in the 1980s has been quietly reassembled into the stablecoin system being legalized by the GENIUS Act in 2026. The investigation follows the Thiel-Karp-Sacks-Hines network from Stanford classrooms to the White House to Tether's British Virgin Islands shell company. It traces Jeffrey Epstein's 2014 crypto investments to the regulatory framework being implemented today. And it documents how a single trader made $170 million on sixteen consecutive perfectly-timed bets around war and ceasefire announcements while no investigation was ever opened.

Drawing on forty hours of recorded conversation with Daniel Ellsberg, federal banking records, SEC filings, and reporting from Bloomberg, the New York Times, Reuters, and the Associated Press, Lied to Death is part memoir, part investigation, and part indictment. It explains how the wars get funded - and why the architecture cannot be dismantled without dismantling the system that now depends on it.
