Saw this for the first time yesterday.

Best acting and casting in a film in the last six years.

Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Irons are superb. I worked for a firm in London like the one portrayed in the film. This is how it is in the trading industry---cutthroat.

I remember seeing this when it came out, and then the next day the fiction became reality and my futures brokerage firm went bankrupt.

Yes, worked in the financial district near Moorgate, lived in Islington off Upper St.

The Brits are the most untrustworthy MFs and have nothing but disdain for yanks.

First thing I checked, but did you see that run-up? This guy was single handily pushing up several stocks.

Ok you have $10B in assets a family office. The only way you are going to dent that kind of wealth is by using dumb leverage. Like even if he only earned 5% a year for the next decade, you are talking about $500M per year. Now he probably pissed away his entire fortune.

No actually he will not. I suspect he will be bankrupt as he will not have enough money to pay back what was borrowed. He already had one SEC investigation and large fine. That will finish him off nicely. It is a decent bet to take the under on the odds he commits suicide in the next 18 months.
