I am almost finished reading Packer's Lunch and I can help but feel totally disgusted about the way these people behave themselves.

I sincerely hope not all people in positions of power are such bastards but I won't hold my breath.

 

and some points of reference ?

 

- Tax evasion
- Insider trading
- Not paying off loans
- Market manipulation
- Self appointed blue bloods for whom only a few are 'worthy' of living in the same suburb as them
- The never ending quest for that deal/scheme/scam that will make them money despite it being obvious that there are only a few who benefit.

 

- Old Boys Clubs

 

well with a face like that.............................................. .................................................. .......................

 

To be fair the book didn't talk about Packer in a direct sense. It is mostly about people that do deals with him. Not that he is a saint....

 

well.....that's a little different. Thanks for the clarification.

Think I'll buy the book.

 

Cashie - have you read "The Wolf Of Wall Street"? Story of Jordan Belfort, a young stockbroker who made massive millions by forcing stock market prices through his brokerage, and blew all his money on drugs and hookers.
I'm gonna have to pickup a copy of this book you're talking about.

 

I haven't read it. Will try to remember next time I go book shopping
