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."--$cBack cover. 606 $aScandals$xHistory 606 $aScandals$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aScandals$xHistory. 615 0$aScandals$xHistory 676 $a302.24 700 $aStenfors$b Alexis $01704588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823382203321 996 $aBarometer of fear$94090703 997 $aUNINA
