Ramón Fonseca : Saving the world, as it turns out, is very hard, you know? Long hours, bad pay, and perhaps the world does not want to be saved. Inside all of us, there are packs of wolves, some flocks of sheep roaming through our thoughts. We want to be fair, and yet, we want to win. We want to be righteous, but we want to get ahead. Such is our struggle. Uh, at some point, you decide it might just be easier to save yourself. So, I became a lawyer for the not-so-meek.

[first lines]
Ramón Fonseca : First of all, there are some things you should know before we begin. For instance, we are real people, just like you. Secondly, we did not write a word of this. To be perfectly frank, we would have preferred all of this remain a secret. But we had no choice in the matter. We just woke up one day and everything changed. There were stories about us everywhere: TV, newspapers, and the internet.
Ramón Fonseca : And now it is our turn to tell a few stories. Think of them as fairy tales that actually happened. Don't worry, these stories are not just about us. They're also about you.
Ramón Fonseca : And how is that possible? Because all these stories are about money. The idea of money. The necessity of money. The secret life of money.
