"The criminality of insider trading is not so hard to grasp; you don't have to be a professional gambler to know you can get shot for playing poker with a marked deck. As the world knows, Boesky and the rest lived with a tasteless ostentation that made Scrooge McDuck look like a Benedictine monk (with the singular exception of Milken, who hoarded his pile). Even so, the details- Boesky's arriving by helicopter at a seagoing bar mitzvah on the rented QE2 the very night before agreeing to become a government informant, for example-are endlessly enjoyable. Equally persuasive is Stewart's analysis of how reckless and finally stupid it all was-essentially a classic pyramid scheme based upon the touching human illusion that time and chance happeneth not to the Wall Street anointed. All proving that there may be no fool like a fool with an MBA."
Den of Theives, James Stewart
