Fascinating!!! Slow start, a bit too much fluff, but ultimately fascinating. Thank you.
I find it interesting and somewhat ironic that Sam, as I learn more about him and how to judge him, is the son of 2 high-end lawyers. You would hope that he turns out good and honest yet here he is on trial for committing one of the biggest frauds in human history. His moral compass, for better or worse, is not the same as the rest of ours.
ML asks about the part that surprises him because he mentions that they never did any faster trading in his book .. which explains that he was lied to and he believed it :)
He played you
The jury is torn. On one hand you have those who think that Sam is guilty and on the other those who are really really stupid.
Each of these individuals deserve everything that's hit them already and whatever comes. Not ONE good soul in this bunch.. What ever the consequences, THEY'VE EARNED THEM ALL..
Seeing that unfortunately ML lost his own daughter recently makes sense to why he is so loving to a man he might see as his own child.
shame on ML
What middle school did Michael find this journalist from?
Sorry, her questions are great but her voice sounds way too much like a child for me to understand what I’m listening to.
She didn't choose her voice. She did, in fact, choose the questions. It's funny, I think she actually has a much more mature perspective on this than Michael Lewis...
@@SteeleGolem that’s not her real voice. She’s an adult who still moves through society like a brat. The voice is an expression of the mind. She will talk like a 7 year old until she stops being rewarded for it.
Is this thing produced? It lacks focus & rambles on.
