Risk Against Reward, How I survived the American Justice System

By Carl Battie

Read the larger-than-life true story of Carl Battie, labelled a criminal mastermind by the Federal DA in Dallas Texas. His life of crime spanned for more than 30 years.

This isn't a glorification of a life of crime; it is the unflinching true story of the consequences of that life and the need to start all over again, at the age of 67.

He was deported back to London, England on June 26, 2024, a country he had not seen in over 25 years, with nothing more than the clothes he was wearing and health issues that almost killed him.

Carl had specialised in sophisticated financial crimes, bank fraud and real estate scams. His criminal enterprises were carried out in England, Spain, Germany and ending in America.

The FBI launched a special Trask Force which finally arrested him at this home in Decatur Georgia on May 8th, 2014.

Carl was incarcerated as a criminal mastermind, for Wire Fraud, Money Laundering and Real Estate Crimes. He severed just over ten years in some of America's most notorious prisons.
