书籍简介

★足球史上的经典大骗局：用1英镑买下球队，让球队多负债700万英镑

《万亿美元大骗子》改编自热门的 BBC 5Live 播客系列，讲述了一个比小说更离奇的大胆国际欺诈故事。

2009 年，诺茨郡足球俱乐部在英乙联赛中苦苦挣扎，后来被一家据称由巴林王室支持的神秘公司接管。俱乐部承诺获得数百万英镑的投资，包括索尔·坎贝尔和卡斯帕·舒梅切尔在内的球员都被前英格兰主教练斯文·约兰·埃里克森签下，后者被任命带领俱乐部一路晋级英超联赛。

然而，几个月后，梦想变成了噩梦，因为事实证明，俱乐部、球员和球迷都被一个名叫拉塞尔·金的诈骗犯欺骗了。

世界上古老的职业足球俱乐部发现自己身处体育史上离奇的欺诈案之一的中心，这场欺诈案横跨诺丁汉和朝鲜等全球各地，涉及假酋长、快车、违背承诺和一连串的破坏。

Based on the hit BBC 5Live podcast series, The Trillion Dollar Conman is a tale of audacious international fraud that is stranger than fiction.

In 2009, Notts County FC were struggling to survive in League Two when they were taken over by a mysterious company supposedly backed by the Bahrain royal family. The club was promised millions of pounds worth of investment and marquee players, including Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel, were signed by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who had been appointed to take the club all the way to the Premier League.

However, within months, the dream turned into a nightmare as it transpired that the club, the players and the fans had been duped by a convicted fraudster called Russell King.

The world's oldest professional football club found itself at the centre of one of the most outlandish frauds in sporting history, which spanned the globe from Nottingham to North Korea, involving fake sheikhs, fast cars, broken promises and a trail of destruction.
