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."--Back cover.ScandalsHistoryScandalsHistory21st centuryScandalsHistory.ScandalsHistory302.24Stenfors Alexis 1562937MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792809603321Barometer of fear3830965UNINA
