This week on Honor Among Thieves, we sit down with Larry Hartman — an accomplished Columbia Law School graduate turned Wall Street lawyer, and author of the gripping novel Blind Greed — a story based on his own life.
Now a Raw Media production currently in development to become a major motion picture directed and starring Michael Copon, Blind Greed dives deep into the world of high finance, organized crime, and moral collapse.
Born and raised on Mulberry Street in New York City, Larry’s journey is the perfect intersection of Wall Street success, Cosa Nostra connections, and international fugitive survival.
🔥 Episode Highlights
-From Wall Street to the Underworld: Larry partners with a Cosa Nostra associate to launch some of the first online casino empires, blending legitimate law with organized crime.
-The $100 Million Stock Scheme: Through a London venture firm, he helps take multiple startups public — amassing over $100 million in stock from companies he later admitted were “questionable at best.”
-The Federal Crackdown: When the feds close in, Larry flees to Costa Rica, assuming a false identity as Jason Todd to evade extradition.
-Life on the Run: From skiing in the Swiss Alps to playing high-stakes poker in Monte Carlo, Larry lives as an international fugitive — until his fake Nicaraguan passport expires.
-The Bribe Gone Wrong: Caught trying to renew his forged passport, Larry attempts to bribe a cop with a few thousand dollars, only to be caught in the act.
-Locked Up in El Chipote: Thrown into Nicaragua’s most feared prison, Larry’s descent from millionaire investor to inmate is a harrowing look into one man’s reckoning with greed, power, and survival.
Larry Hartman’s life reads like a Hollywood thriller — a brilliant Wall Street lawyer turned outlaw financier, living between luxury and chaos. His story of ambition, deception, and redemption proves that in the world of Blind Greed, even the smartest can lose it all.
