Octopus by Guy Lawson
by Kimberly Hays April 4th, 2013 | Topic of the Month
Octopus is the inside story of what happens behind the financial market that we are familiar with. It is the “inside story” of an unusual cast of conspirators and hedge fund fraud. The subtitle is “Sam Israel, the Secret Market, and Wall Street's Wildest Con”, which explains the plot line of the story.
