racketeering charges. Ultimately, when the misconduct was presented to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice, nothing was done, and no one was punished. The evidence which resulted in an eight-year prison sentence was remarkable because: There was no loss or victimsThe federal case was based on an administrative state insurance statute providing no penalty if no lossThe prosecution engaged in misconduct that was ignored by the courtsCybercrimes were protected and covered upA defense lawyer for Segal was secretly tape-recordedConviction at Any Cost tells in detail how the prosecution, through the use of threats and other tactics took revenge upon Michael Segal because he had the courage to refuse to falsely implicate or entrap others. Meanwhile, the employees who had been nurtured and rewarded by Segal, after succumbing to greed and attempting to take over Segal's life's work, decided when they were thwarted, that only the destruction of the company would satisfy them. And waiting to help crush the company were Segal's long-time business rivals. Researched and written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maurice Possley based on court records and hours of interviews with Michael Segal, Conviction at Any Cost is a compelling account of how justice can be perverted and abused in the absence of checks and balances. Segal is the subject, but anyone can be caught in a justice system gone awry.
