Flash Crash

A real-life financial thriller, gives panoramic insight into our economic landscape—its weaknesses, its crooks and its exploitable loopholes—and uncovers the remarkable, behind-the-scenes narrative of a mystifying market crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud, and the man—Navinder Singh Sarao—at the centre of it all. Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or a folk hero: an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
