Take Down

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The author wishes to thank the following people for their generous contributions to this book. Andy Vita and my wife, Laura, who helped me with the early drafts. Kjersti Egerdahl and Kevin Smith, whose contributions and editorial suggestions are worth far more than a simple line of thanks. The crew of cheaters I met in Las Vegas in 2008 who agreed to let me tell their story. And a very special thanks to Stephen Roberts, who made me sit down and watch an old French movie with subtitles called Bob le flambeur, which inspired me to write this book.
