​Stung by Gary Ross: True Story of Brian Molony's $10.2M CIBC Bank Fraud

Discover the incredible true story behind the largest single-handed bank fraud in Canadian history. Stung by Gary Ross is the award-winning, gripping account of the double life of Brian Molony. To his superiors at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Molony was one of the brightest young stars in the company. At just twenty-four, he was an assistant manager in the heart of Toronto's financial district, a seeming workaholic who was in by eight and rarely left before seven. But his colleagues, friends, and even girlfriends knew nothing of the real Brian Molony: The man who would bet $5,000 on college football games. The man who put $500,000 on the Super Bowl and then cheered for the other team just to make the finish exciting. The man who lost $250,000 on a single basketball game and had to pretend his disappointment was only sentimental. In 1982, this secret life imploded when the $10.2 million fraud was exposed. Stung is the definitive, page-turning account of the shocking obsession and complex psychology of the man who masterminded it all. This book was the basis for the acclaimed 2003 film Owning Mahowny starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.
