But the point is, you are greedy, you want every little bit of money that you can possibly get because, like I say, that is how you are judged, that is your performance metric" ? Tom Hayes , 2013 In the midst of the financial crisis, Tom Hayes and his network of traders and brokers from Wall Street's leading firms set to work engineering the biggest financial conspiracy ever seen. As the rest of the world burned, they came together on secret chat rooms and late night phone calls to hatch an audacious plan to rig Libor, the 'world's most important number' and the basis for $350 trillion of securities from mortgages to loans to derivatives. Without the persistence of a rag-tag team of investigators from the U.S., they would have got away with it.... The Fix by award-winning Bloomberg journalists Liam Vaughan and Gavin Finch, is the inside story of the Libor scandal, told through the journey of the man at the centre of it: a young, scruffy, socially awkward misfit from England whose genius for math and obsessive personality made him a trading phenomenon, but ultimately paved the way for his own downfall. Based on hundreds of interviews, and unprecedented access to the traders and brokers involved, and the investigators who caught up with them, The Fix provides a rare look into the dark heart of global finance at the start of the 21st Century. 606 $aCommercial crimes$zGreat Britain$vCase studies 606 $aBanks and banking$xCorrupt practices$vCase studies 606 $aFinancial institutions, International$xCorrupt practices$vCase studies 606 $aInterest rates 606 $aLIBOR market model 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommercial crimes 615 0$aBanks and banking$xCorrupt practices 615 0$aFinancial institutions, International$xCorrupt practices 615 0$aInterest rates. 615 0$aLIBOR market model. 676 $a364.16/80941 700 $aVaughan$b Liam$f1979-$01210606 702 $aFinch$b Gavin$f1979- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153179803321 996 $aThe fix$92793902 997 $aUNINA
