Anthony Scaramucci

I mean, I, I know it, but I want you to say it to the audience.

Oh, yeah.

But I mean, the other thing is like, you know, when you've written your past books about people that are having affairs, they're living these dual identities and they're almost double agents in their own lives, right?

They're talking to their wife in one way, they're talking to their mistress in another way.

And I feel you capture that with Nash.

I feel like he's working for the FBI, but he's inside this criminal empire simultaneously.

And so what does that say about the double agent existence and about the nature of loyalty and identity?

What were you trying to capture there?

I'm not screaming at my billionaire client like I am at my 11 year old son.

You know, one last question on this character development, if you don't mind.

When you're building this criminal empire, you have legal experience and you have taken, you know, like me, I went to law school, you took criminal procedure.

So do you think about the operational logistics that are going on here and the potential vulnerabilities at the same time?

And like, if you yourself had to prosecute the case, right?

A lot of that feels like it's in the book as well, right?

It's almost like a legal brief inside this book.

You know, I feel also from your writing style, again, you're just, you know, some writers got the whole book.

They take an outline and they're going chapter by chapter and they delve into it.

But I think what makes your writing for me so interesting, I sometimes feel like, whoa, that character is going in a direction I did not predict.

And I'm wondering, is that planned out?

David, or is this, did Nash ever take a story somewhere where you had him planned?
