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.

this is an excellent book for those of you who are interested in the ups and downs of the securities industry. it reminds me of "den of theives" with murder added for excitement.

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.
