After a seemingly endless series of corporate scandals, and the stockmarket crash of late 2008, many people are cynical about the stock market and the economy - and this book shows them why such cynicism is completely justified.
Tip and Trade is the story of a friendship that starts in law school and ends with the largest insider trading scandal in Canadian history. Gil Cornblum and Stan Grmovsek were fast friends in law school. Together, they ripped off Wall Street and Bay Street for over $10 million, by preying on the trust of Cornblum's legal clients and his employers. Their illegal profits were huge, but the tragedy of their inevitable downfall was even bigger.
