About This Book

The narrator, a senior partner at an established brokerage, recounts how a charismatic but volatile trader deliberately triggers a massive sell-off that cascades into a market panic. As prices plummet, the episode exposes reckless speculation, strained loyalties, and the fragility of institutional prestige, while personal relationships and livelihoods unravel amid frantic trading. The narrative alternates close, chaotic scenes on the trading floor with sober reflections on corporate honor, moral compromise, and the human damage caused by intentional market manipulation.
