New York, NY — Former high-stakes trader turned author and entrepreneur Ben Skull is gaining national attention for his explosive memoir, Wall Street Mafia, a raw and revealing journey through greed, power, and second chances. Featured on The Authors Show Podcast and True Crime, Authors & Extraordinary People, Skull’s story continues to captivate audiences seeking real-life tales of transformation and resilience. He is soon to appear on The Bubba Army Podcast in November, 2025.
Wall Street Mafia offers readers a front-row seat to Skull’s meteoric rise in the financial world, where ambition met corruption and where every trade carried more than just monetary risk. Drawing from true experiences in the early 2000s stock market, Skull chronicles how his pursuit of success led him into the darker corners of Wall Street, full of criminal ties, wiretaps, and the unrelenting pressure of living double lives.
“It wasn’t just about money, it was about power,” Skull shares. “But when the power fades, you’re forced to face who you really are.”
The book isn’t just a financial exposé; it’s a confessional. Skull opens up about addiction, mental health, federal investigations, and a near-fatal moment that changed everything. His story of survival and redemption resonates deeply in a time when society is hungry for authenticity over illusion.
Today, Skull is the founder of Skullkrushers, a California-based off-road brand built on grit, family values, and second chances. The company reflects his complete transformation—from a man once consumed by Wall Street chaos to one now focused on purpose, creativity, and community.
“I’ve been on both sides of the American dream,” Skull says in a recent interview on True Crime, Authors & Extraordinary People. “You can lose everything, rebuild, and still come back stronger, with integrity.”
Skull’s appearances on The Authors Show Podcast and True Crime, Authors & Extraordinary People have introduced his message to thousands of listeners who connect with his raw honesty and real-world insight. His candid storytelling and refusal to sugarcoat his past have positioned him as a powerful new voice in both the true-crime and motivational spaces.
Wall Street Mafia is more than a memoir; it’s a mirror held up to the world of high finance and human ambition. It’s about what happens when the chase ends, and the rebuilding begins.
