Owning Mahowny
“To some it's a game. To others it's a habit. But to Dan Mahowny -- beating the odds is everything”
Dan Mahowny was a rising star at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. At twenty-four he was assistant manager of a major branch in the heart of Toronto's financial district. To his colleagues he was a workaholic. To his customers, he was astute, decisive and helpful. To his friends, he was a quiet, but humorous man who enjoyed watching sports on television. To his girlfriend, he was shy but engaging. None of them knew the other side of Dan Mahowny--the side that executed the largest single-handed bank fraud in Canadian history, grossing over $10 million in eighteen months to feed his gambling obsession.
A chilling, slow descent into the heart of addiction. It feels like watching a man meticulously build his own downfall, the mounting tension palpable with every transaction. A stark, unsettling portrait of obsession.
