On March 5, 2008, a Florida hedge fund manager's Web site included a startling statement about Bear Stearns & Co.: In my book, they are insolvent. This seemed a bold and risky statement. Bear Stearns had been a colossally profitable enterprise for eighty-five years. Ten days later, Bear Stearns no longer existed and the calamitous financial meltdown of 2008 had begun. How and why that happened is the subject of William D. Cohan's superb and shocking chronicle. (Bestseller)
