Best Old School Wall Street Stories
Most of mine come from reading books about banking in the 80's - 90's but a few come to mind:
-
The legend of Dick Fuld: https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/09/14/how_the_leg…
-
John Gutfruend challenging John Meriwether to a game of Liars Poker for $1,000,000 & the intern gets a call from the SEC investigating food theft in the company cafeteria: https://www.businessinsider.com/iconic-moments-fr…
-
Predators Ball: Michael Milken raising $120 million for Steve Wynn who's casino was worth maybe $10 million at most, unreal leverage.
-
"Operation Buy and Cry" lol https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1987-04-…
Any great stories feel free to post. I'm also trying to get some new book recommendations while we're at it.
Yeah, Liar’s Poker comes to mind. Wall Street was literally a lawless place in the 80s. Now corporate HR departments have successfully sucked out all the fun
SEC food compliance was legendary.
