The Spider Network

The Wild Story of a Math Genius, a Gang of Backstabbing Bankers, and One of the Greatest Scams in Financial History

David Enrich

This book tells the story of a group of bankers who discovered they could manipulate the London interbank offered rate to make profits on loans worldwide. The group included a cast of oddball characters, including a French trader nicknamed "Gollum" and a nervous Kazakh chicken farmer known as "Derka Derka." Their scheme generated colossal riches until it all fell apart in spectacularly vicious, backstabbing fashion. This book provides an exclusive look into the scandal and a deeper examination of a crooked financial system.
