In the mid 1990s, at a hotel complex on a Florida beach, dozens of bankers from JP Morgan gathered for a significant off-site meeting. The gathering involved drinking, nightclubbing, and fist-fights, with the serious purpose of exploring credit derivatives. The team was loyal and tight-knit, but after dispersing, their innovations led to issues in the mortgage market, culminating in disaster. This narrative blends thriller, investigation, and exposure, offering an inside look into the complex world of finance and the credit crunch.
