"The first thing you think is where's the edge, where can I make a
bit more money, how can I push, push the boundaries. But the point
is, you are greedy, you want every little bit of money that you can
possibly get because, like I say, that is how you are judged, that
is your performance metric" Tom Hayes, 2013 In the midst of the
financial crisis, Tom Hayes and his network of traders and brokers
from Wall Street's leading firms set to work engineering the
biggest financial conspiracy ever seen. As the rest of the world
burned, they came together on secret chat rooms and late night
phone calls to hatch an audacious plan to rig Libor, the 'world's
most important number' and the basis for $350 trillion of
securities from mortgages to loans to derivatives. Without the
persistence of a rag-tag team of investigators from the U.S., they
would have got away with it...The Fix by award-winning Bloomberg
journalists Liam Vaughan and Gavin Finch, is the inside story of
the Libor scandal, told through the journey of the man at the
centre of it: a young, scruffy, socially awkward misfit from
England whose genius for math and obsessive personality made him a
trading phenomenon, but ultimately paved the way for his own
downfall. Based on hundreds of interviews, and unprecedented access
to the traders and brokers involved, and the investigators who
caught up with them, The Fix provides a rare look into the dark
heart of global finance at the start of the 21st Century.
