5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting for people in the business, September 27, 2000
By A Customer
I worked at Drexel in the 80's in the Mpls office. I know these people. However, I didn't know Michael that well. He was an overwhelming personality. This book really brings back memories of the business in the 80's. This is a great personality study. Michael disreguared basic ethics, not only of the business, but of human decency. I would recommend this to anyone who works in the business or who is interested in true crime.

4.0 out of 5 stars CEO World Trade Center: Brought Michael a project in his St Petersburg, January 2, 2010

I knew Michael, but not well: in 1989, I had just returned from Russia and he was dazzled by the photos I brought back to show him; he was arranging financing at Pru Bache for joint investments I proposed in his country for the first time since emigrating.

Brought him 18th century real estate ventures from St Petersburg, his home town, as a native Minnesotan who had worked in Russian as a Management Consultant.

He was decent and fair in our project: I was in his office on the Friday before his murder.
