of the United States Organized Crime Task Force. This action brought him and

death of his son and the destruction of his financial empire. The story is very

common sense and golden rules. George is a capitalist with a liberal heart. It
takes courage and power to face the forces of evil, to defy them, provoke them,
and ignore their ruthless power. The transcripts of his trials prove his
courage and statements. This book tells how he stood up for his principles of loyalty,
pride and self -respect. Sacrificing himself and
taking a fall. Discover how the resolve of this Greek immigrant's mind and soul
empowered him to defy incarceration and even death from his compelled
oppressors. In 1986 when he was incarcerated and refused bail, pending his
appeal, his morale remained as furious as ever. This story details how the U.S.
Justice Department prosecuted and convicted Mr. Livieratos and his
co-defendants. The story indicates that interpretation; politics and selective
application of the law can lead to the conviction of the best intentioned,
while protecting the potentially less desirable. His description of the Federal
Prison System is in such detail and simplicity that it can be used by inmates
as a Federal Prison manual. His characterization of governmental regulatory
agencies depicts them as large bureaucratic quagmires, which complicates and
destroys the interest of the victimized citizens. Although considered
outrageous by some, he provides opinions on how he thinks organized crime and
the mafia was a better alternative to the current drug infested street crime.
His human instincts will open the public's eyes and hearts for a better society
based on love and care for all humans. The author hopes this book will wake up
Americans to strive for equal justice for all, regardless of your social
status, color, or religion. The Authors main point is to expose his
characterization of the hypocrisy of government officials who don't care about
the people, but only the power they posses. His colorful sexual encounters and
lustful desires add some levity to an otherwise tragic Greek epic.
