Escondido, CA, USA – In his new memoir, Wall Street Mafia, author and entrepreneur Ben Skull delivers a raw, behind-the-scenes account of life inside the high-stakes world of early 2000s finance, where ambition, influence, and hidden networks collide.
Drawing from real experiences, Wall Street Mafia chronicles Skull’s rise through the financial industry, his encounters with criminal elements, and the personal costs of living at the edge of power. The book explores a turbulent path from stock market success and excess to legal pressure, personal collapse, and, ultimately, redemption.
With global backdrops including Panama, the Bahamas, Colombia, San Diego, and Miami, the memoir offers readers a firsthand look at the dark side of financial manipulation and the human story behind the headlines.
“Because at the end of the day, the game wasn’t about the market. It was about the players. And I had learned how to play them all,” says Skull.
What begins as a success story quickly transforms into a cautionary tale. Through federal investigations, underworld connections, and moments of personal crisis, the author reveals how he lost everything and found a way forward. From there, he went on to build Skullkrushers, a new automotive company based in California.
Wall Street Mafia is a story of transformation and of learning from the past, rebuilding with purpose, and using one’s experience to inspire others facing similar crossroads.
The book is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. For more information, please visit the author’s website.
