Mike Asimos: A True American Con Artist Story

A true story of an American dream gone wrong, Michael Asimos made headlines when he was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to fraud, money laundering and other crimes. The story was heavily covered by MSNBC and Fox News, featured on the cover of Newsweek, and was covered by media outlets all over the world. Asimos’ life had all the makings of a rags-to-riches story, from his modest origins as a collegiate football player at West Point to his climb to become one of Wall Street’s most successful traders.

Mike w Asimos is a West Point graduate, an experienced Wall Street con man and the author of The Real Life Con Game. Asimos was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He received a mechanical engineering degree from West Point Military Academy in 1978 after completing his studies there. He joined the US Army as an officer after receiving his West Point diploma. However, during the Gulf War, he suffered severe injuries to his back and was forced to retire from military service. Asimos went on to become a successful Wall Street businessman, but he quickly realized that he was spending more time fantasizing than really making money.

He made $8 million in just two years, over half of which came from other financial institutions that he conned into backing his frauds against them. After these scams were successful, Asimos started assisting others in launching their own con professions. Michael Asimos had a good childhood. But when the 2008 crisis hit Wall Street, what should have been his defining moment became a catastrophe. Michael Mike Asimos, a successful Wall Street broker, became an FBI informant, assisting investigators in uncovering a massive securities fraud scheme. Despite years of masking his identity, he was sentenced to five years in jail for his role in the plot.

He was freed from prison after finishing his sentence, and he immediately started con artists. But this time, the FBI had him under surveillance. He was arrested and convicted of mail fraud for a second time. Since then, he hasn’t participated in any additional frauds. The problem is that it doesn’t appear like any of his pals would welcome him back either. It seems that they think he has lost all credibility with them. I’m not sure what con men mike asimos will do next or whether there will ever be a redemption story in this, but there’s no denying that this is a terrible situation. It’s said that he’ll play another con game in the future and try his luck again. However, as things are, Michael Asimos is only an unfortunate con artist.
