Introduction: "It's a misunderstanding" -- The barometer of fear -- "Why did you do it?" -- Superheroes and beauty pageants -- The LIBOR Illusion -- The value of secrets -- Conventions and conspiracies -- Rotten apples -- The perfect storm.

Sommario/riassunto

"The LIBOR affair has been described as the biggest banking scandal in history, a deception affecting not only banks but also corporations, pension funds and ordinary people. But was this just the tip of the iceberg? Was the scandal the work of a few bad apples or an inevitable result of a financial system rotten to its core? Labelled 'one of the world's most infamous rogue traders' in the wake of a mis-marking scandal, [the author] went on to rebuild his life and now guides us through the shadowy world of modern banking, providing an insider's account of the secret practices--including the manipulation of foreign exchange rates--that have allowed banks to profit from systematic deception."--
