According to the author's note,[16] D'Agostino was initially reluctant for the book to be written and author Ben Mezrich convinced D'Agostino by using a pseudonym, changing the name of the primary character to David Russo.[4][6][16] The book appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list for one week in 2007 and another in 2008.[17][18] Summit Entertainment acquired the screen rights to Rigged.[7]
