    Tim Scott claims he’s retired. I’d love to here the story from bank robber to retirement. Is it in your book Tim?

      In a somewhat condensed form, yeah. I don’t go into a lot of detail about the businesses I started because the one that made the real money is still running and the people I turned it over to have a right to privacy, but I think the gist is pretty clear.

      That said, if you read the book and come away wanting more details I would happily meet you and answer questions.

        As an aside to this, people I have met with before should check their e-mail.
