"Bamboozled is the story of LA boxer Joey Torrey's rise from teenage Olympic hopeful to Max Security prisoner. Joey's life is a rough one full of death, swindles, and disappointment, never a dull (or calm) moment. A big part of this brutal memoir zine is the tale of Joey's titular bamboozling at the hands of the FBI. After being pressured to name names and help the Feds “clean up boxing,” our anti-hero was paid back with broken promises and a whole new batch of enemies! Scary stuff. One heckuva cautionary tale."
