Publisher's Synopsis
A vivid and personal account of banking excess
Tetsuya Ishikawa's story reveals how a young Oxford graduate found himself in command of vast sums of other people's money. It also explains how a novice to the mysteries of hedge funds and sub-prime mortgages fixed complex deals for billions of dollars in the exclusive bars, brothels, and trading floors of London, New York, Frankfurt, and Tokyo-and reaped the benefits in a colossal annual bonus and an international luxury lifestyle.
