Description

On May 6, 2010, financial markets around the world plummeted simultaneously, losing a trillion dollars in valuation in just five minutes. This sudden and inexplicable event became known as the Flash Crash. At its centre was Navinder Singh Sarao, a gifted trader who had built a system to fight back against lightning-fast electronic traders that were eating into his profits. But when the FBI arrived at his door in 2015, depending on whom you ask, Sarao's story becomes one of either financial recklessness or courageous resistance to an unjust system. This book uncovers the remarkable narrative behind the Flash Crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud and the man who found himself at its centre.
