About this listen
The shocking true story of a corrupt system, a courageous rebellion, and the traders who changed finance forever!
In the electrifying chaos of the 1980s Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), where millions were made and lost in seconds, 25 rogue traders risked their careers—and their lives—to expose a market manipulation scandal that had ruled the financial world for decades. What was at stake?
A corrupt practice known as dual trading allowed powerful brokers to exploit investors, rig trades, and cover their losses at the expense of everyday traders. Despite industry pushback and two failed reform votes, these renegade traders, led by Michael Russo and Owen McAuliffe, refused to back down. Their relentless fight for market transparency and fair trading practices ultimately led to landmark financial reforms and shielded the CME from federal indictments during an FBI investigation into market manipulation.
Inside this riveting financial exposé, you’ll discover:
- The hidden financial scandal that rocked Chicago’s trading floors.
- The high-stakes battles inside the S&P 500 futures pit, where fortunes were made and lost in seconds.
- How a group of courageous traders took on Wall Street corruption—and won.
- The real-life David vs. Goliath fight that redefined market ethics and financial regulation.
Perfect for fans of:
- The Big Short by Michael Lewis
- Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort
- Flash Boys by Michael Lewis
- Den of Thieves by James B. Stewart
