The Shocking True Story of a Corrupt System, a Courageous Rebellion, and the Traders Who Changed Wall Street Forever.
In the electrifying chaos of the 1980s Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), where millions were made and lost in seconds, 25 rogue traders risked their careers—and their lives—to expose a market manipulation scandal that had ruled the financial world for decades.
📉 What Was at Stake?
A corrupt practice known as dual trading, which allowed powerful brokers to exploit investors, rig trades, and cover their losses at the expense of everyday traders. Despite industry pushback and two failed reform votes, these renegade traders, led by Michael Russo and Owen McAuliffe, refused to back down. Their relentless fight for market transparency and fair trading practices ultimately led to landmark financial reforms and shielded the CME from federal indictments during an FBI investigation into market manipulation.
