The Spider Network: The Wild Story of a Maths Genius and One of the Greatest Scams in Financial History by David Enrich
The manipulation of Libor, too technical for most, but a financial yardstick which impacts millions, was the perfect illustration of why bankers and the City got a bad name. This is the story of how one brilliant trader but limited human being became the fall guy while his equally culpable collaborators lied themselves away from trouble and the bosses smoothly walked clear. A vivid story of eye popping excess which leaves the reader questioning an entire system.
(Tony Pratt - bwl 90 Autumn 2018 )
