"Swindled away from me in an epic swindle"

Not Ricky talking about Gary Pratt or someone else who ran him out (btw is it true RP has the highest run-out rate in Test cricket??), or even Inzy about the captaincy or that Test match, but Tom Hicks.

"There are better owners of Liverpool than the owners of Boston Red Sox [NESV]," Hicks told Sky Sports. "I'm shocked, devastated and frustrated. I'm very disappointed." He added: "It has hurt my family tremendously. This is a very valuable asset that was swindled away from me in an epic swindle."

American entrepreneurs (for want of a better word) have a way with words.
