In this "excellent book for people who like to start sentences with 'Did you know that...'" (The New York Times), discover the most bizarre ways you might become a federal criminal in America--from mailing a mongoose to selling Swiss cheese without enough holes--written and illustrated by the creator of the wildly popular @CrimeADay Twitter account. Have you ever clogged a toilet in a national forest? That could get you six months in federal prison. Written a letter to a pirate? You might be looking at three years in the slammer. Leaving the country with too many nickels, drinking a beer on a bicycle in a national park, or importing a pregnant polar bear are all very real crimes, and this riotously funny, ridiculously entertaining, and fully illustrated book shows how just about anyone can become--or may already be--a federal criminal. Whether you're a criminal defense lawyer or just a self-taught expert in outrageous offenses, How to Become a Federal Criminal is "an entertaining and humorous look at our criminal justice system" (Forbes).
