An in-depth take on the hedge-fund individual and his associates, done by someone who is obviously knowledgeable about such an entity's inner workings.

This is a book about the hedge fund industry and Preet Bahara's attempt to prosecute insider trading violations. Interesting look at Wall Street.

Readers of this excellent book are treated to a deep-dive inside the story of the rise and fall of American hedge fund SAC Capital – the largest insider trader investigation so far.
For those who have not followed this story, it could easily read like a hard-to-believe Hollywood movie; it is just so broad, so pervasive and so jaw-dropingly amazing. The author has done a great job in distilling a complex story into a (relatively short) engaging, focussed, gripping read that can act as both reference book and novel alike.
It is an ideal travel companion that will consume many hours of enjoyable reading, even if one doesn’t wish to glamorise its happenings. This company was by no means the only offender in what activities were undertaken, even if it was the most successful and brazen. Its “luck” ran out and it paid the price. No doubt other unpleasant activities exist in Wall Street, if stones are lifted.
An excellent read, even if you don’t usually consume such books. You may already have your views about investment and banking companies, yet prepare for this to be possibly smashed into smithereens.

Loved this book. It goes deep inside the largely hidden world of hedge funds and tells a whodunit about the efforts to take down one of its kingpins. Lots of great details and a taut narrative. I finished it in two days.

The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated in the contemporary antagonism known as the generation gap. Indeed the whole of life can be seen as a play staged in a theater of the absurd.

This book is well written and pulls together a lot of information from various sources. That said, if you followed these events there is not much, if anything, new in this book about the events covered.
