Celebrated suspense novelist Mary Higgins Clark said of her one-time friend and business associate, Thomas Giacomaro: "I may have a great imagination...but I never could have invented Giacomaro."
Thomas Giacomaro is both the talent and subject of this docuseries, in addition to being the only board member of the production company.
Thomas Giacomaro started his infamous career in the mob-laden New Jersey trucking industry as a teenaged office gopher. A charming, brash, natural salesman with street smarts and a genius-level IQ, he soon climbed to the top of any business he touched--a boy wonder. Until his lust for money, power, and his liaisons with organized crime sent him spiraling into a world of drugs and violence. Forced to go on the lam in South Africa and Europe, he returned to NJ with millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds stuffed in his underwear. And that's just for starters.
Then came his deal with the FBI to become a Special Crime Informant. But Tommy's no rat--and no dummy. He strung the Feds along, kept the mob happy, and forged a new career as a white collar, high finance scammer who lured celebrities to invest millions in his new business schemes. All under the watchful eye of the FBI, wink-wink.
Until...it all came crashing down again, and he ended up in prison. But even behind bars, he was the ultimate "king" of cons--hustling the wardens, the doctors, the guards, his fellow inmates. He thrived and got himself out early to boot.
How'd he do it? Even his former friend and victim, whodunnit crime novelist Mary Higgins Clark, couldn't figure it out.
With this docuseries, we'll find out from the King 👑 himself.
