Liam Vaughan is an award-winning investigative journalist and author with Bloomberg and Businessweek magazine.
Longlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of
the Year Award 2020 ‘The U.K.'s pre-eminent chronicler of financial
crime’ New Yorker ‘This is not just a readable, pacey account of an
extraordinary individual … but also a troubling exposé of the
fragility of our entire financial system … I loved it’
Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland ‘The definitive account of one
of the most mysterious events in the recent history of financial
markets …Tells the irresistible personal tale of the unlikely
character—finance whiz, social misfit, brazen cheater, folk hero,
fraud victim—who finds himself at the centre of a vast global
scandal’
David Enrich ‘A fascinating journey through the heart of the
financial markets and the battle between man and machine’
Bradley Hope ‘An elegant and fast-paced narrative … Through
meticulous reporting and a gripping story, Vaughan has filled in
many of the missing pieces. You won’t be able to put it down.’
William D. Cohan ‘A cautionary tale of the fragilities baked into
the financial system … An engaging history lesson on the evolution
of modern trading … And it is a pacy account that swings from
humour to horror of a vulnerable man who is out of his depth …
Compelling’
Financial Times ‘An extremely well-researched and clearly written
book’
Spectator ‘Extraordinary … vivid detail … The real bandits are
still out there, cloaked in political cover and respectability yet
rigging the markets at scale’
Wall Street Journal ‘So compelling … He brings out the moral
subtleties. It isn’t a simple story of good versus evil … Tells the
story beautifully’
Daily Mail, Book of the Week ‘A magnificently detailed yet pacy
narrative. Think Trading Places meets Wall Street … Vaughan
achieves something even more remarkable. He makes you sympathise …
Meticulous reporting’
Sunday Times
