Masters spent his early years at the very bottom of the literary food chain, working the loading docks for MacMillan Publishing Company. He began to see the seamier side of human nature and the larger world courtesy of the National Security Agency. After earning degrees in Economics and International Finance, he came to Wall Street and had the privilege of learning credit analysis and risk management at one of the few private partnerships left that still taught old school techniques of judging companies and character. (His cynicism he came by naturally.) He has a perverse interest in financial disaster and corporate fraud, from the collapse of whole countries to the everyday financial crimes committed against ordinary investors. Perhaps because behind the anonymous numbers lies real human pain and suffering.Masters has worked in the U.S., Europe, Africa and the Middle East as a financial, economic and management consultant, but spends most of his time in Boston and New York.view less
