Tuesdays with Mantu
Speaking of achievement (see below), Rich Siegel (class of 1990-1993, 1996-2002) has written a book. It's called "Tuesdays With Mantu, My Adventures with a Nigerian Con Artist."
How many of you have received an email from someone in Nigeria who promises millions of dollars from some problematic bank account if only you will assist the transfer of the funds to the United States? (I see lots of hands out there.)
Well, Rich decided he wanted to meet his con-artist, Mr. Ibrahim Mantu. So he forwarded the proposal to a fake e-mail account in the name of Richard Gosinya (think about it for a minute) and, on a curious lark, told Mantu he wanted to help. "Tuesdays With Mantu" is Rich's story of what ensued. " I had no idea I’d be forging passports, booking flights to Togo or writing my own obituary," writes Rich.
