"Some chick asked me what I would do with 10 million bucks. I told
her I'd wonder where the rest of my money went."--@GSElevator
Darkly funny, remarkably revealing, and utterly unapologetic,
Straight to Hell is John LeFevre's own account of his adventures as
a globe-conquering investment banker whose career spanned New York,
London, and Hong Kong. Sitting above the "Chinese Wall" separating
investment banking and sales and trading, in a senior position with
a unique vantage point, LeFevre did billion-dollar deals with
sovereign borrowers, prestigious multinational corporations, and
every bank on Wall Street, not to mention Chinese tycoons and
Indonesian thugs, and shot up the ranks to be one of the most
prolific bond syndicate managers in Asia. He also got banned from
the Four Seasons, where he was living at the time, totaled his
brand-new Maserati, and indulged in riotous debauchery on and off
the trading floor. Hundreds of thousands follow LeFevre's
@GSElevator Twitter account; Goldman Sachs launched an internal
investigation into his tweets, and when his true identity was
revealed, it created a national media firestorm--but that was only
part of the story. Straight to Hell delves deep inside an industry
that is both envied and reviled, taking you from the training
programs, trading floors, and roadshows to private planes, shady
deals, and after-hours overindulgence. This is not a moralistic
tale of redemption. Full of shocking rule-breaking, frat-boyish
antics, and win-at-all-cost schemes, Straight to Hell brazenly
pulls back the curtain on the deviant and absolutely excessive
world of finance. Also included are some of the best lines from
@GSElevator, created and curated by LeFevre. Prepare yourself and
buckle up, because this is one of the most entertaining and
eye-opening books ever written about the world of finance.
