How to Become a Federal Criminal

An Illustrated Handbook for the Aspiring Offender

By: Mike Chase

Narrated by: Jonathan Todd Ross

In this “excellent book for people who like to start sentences with ‘Did you know that…’” (The New York Times), discover the most bizarre ways you might become a federal criminal in America—from mailing a mongoose to selling Swiss cheese without enough holes—written and illustrated by the creator of the wildly popular @CrimeADay Twitter account.

Have you ever clogged a toilet in a national forest? That could get you six months in federal prison. Written a letter to a pirate? You might be looking at three years in the slammer. Leaving the country with too many nickels, drinking a beer on a bicycle in a national park, or importing a pregnant polar bear are all very real crimes, and this riotously funny, ridiculously entertaining, and fully illustrated book shows how just about anyone can become—or may already be—a federal criminal.

Whether you’re a criminal defense lawyer or just a self-taught expert in outrageous offenses, How to Become a Federal Criminal is “an entertaining and humorous look at our criminal justice system” (Forbes).

A great read

A wonderful plan for my retirement. Poor Johnny Horizon. I enjoyed this book and laughed out loud more than once.

I'm a proud FedCrim - who has no idea what he did.

The last paragraph is the penultimate slam on Government stupidity and political correctness.

5 stars.
