In CIRCLE OF FRIENDS bestselling and award-winning journalist Charlie Gasparino follows the FBI and SEC as they take aim at a new wave of insider trading cases, using more aggressive and high-profile techniques than ever before.
As he chronicles this massive federal crackdown which has already led to dozens of arrests and threatens to put some of the biggest names on Wall Street behind bars, Gasparino explores the tangled history of insider trading cases and the gross inequality that has grown between individual and professional investors over the last 20 years, highlighting the vast information gap that favours professionals over amateurs, and the super wealthy over the rest of us.
As with his previous books, Gasparino, one of Wall Street's most knowledgeable observers, names names but also brings a rich historical perspective to this subject. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS reads like a novel, even though its troubling conclusions are based solely in reality and on recent events.
