Drawing on confidential internal memos and interviews with dozens of key players, Lowenstein crafts a story that reads like a first-rate thriller from beginning to end. He explains not just how the fund made and lost its money, but what it was about the personalities of Long-Term's partners, the arrogance of their mathematical certainties, and the late-nineties culture of Wall Street that made it all possible.

Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his number-one best-selling Liar’s Poker.

In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began. Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania Avenue? On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, the real answer is all of the above-and more. Many devils helped bring hell to the economy.

Now a number-one international best seller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history.

In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

Great book with an amazing performance
This was a riveting story, though I sometimes got a bit lost in the intricacies of stock trading. If you’re familiar with Wall Street jargon, you’ll probably be fine. If you aren’t, like me, this still managed to be a fascinating listen, in large part because of the attention devoted to the characters involved. On top of that, the narration was absolutely incredible. Dennis Boutsikaris reads like he’s telling you the story directly while sitting on a sofa across from you. That, plus the writing, kept me invested through a very long and complicated story even when I didn’t understand every detail. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in corporate crime and epic tales of hubris.

Thorough and well executed
I thought knew a bit about the Enron scandal, but this book revealed a deep saga I'm glad I took the time to explore. Not only what happened, but how and why. Understanding that requires a long story. If you are interested in corporate fraud, this is as good as it gets. If you aren't, I can see this being somewhat long and dry compared to something with more general appeal like Bad Blood.
Dennis Boutsikaris is as good a narrator as you'll find. Authors please use actors like him (or just use him!) and don't narrate your own books.

The Speajer Dennis Boutkaris is perfect ( he did the audible for “ Sticky Fingers” which was also excellent). Not just a monotonous reading but perfect inflections of what’s being said.

The book clearly and relatively simply dip its the interlocking features of Enron that allowed it to rise so high and fall so far.

Amazing narration of a long scandal story
A huge example of scandalous American business. One can find fraud in every business only you have to dig deep enough. CEOs learn how to lie and that's all they do.
