The Fix
How Bankers Lied, Cheated and Colluded to Rig the World’s Most Important Number
.....
The reality is both more complex and more shocking than that. The picture that emerges over thousands of pages of public and leaked documents and hundreds of interviews we conducted – with the traders and brokers involved in the scandal, the regulators and central bankers who failed to curb them, and the small, tenacious band of U.S. investigators who ultimately brought them to account – is of a system in which manipulation was not just possible but inevitable. Everyone must take their share of responsibility: the bank executives who fostered a culture where making money trumped all else; the authorities too weak or unwilling to ask awkward questions; and the governments, giddy on tax receipts, who ushered in a style of laissez-faire regulation whose disastrous effects are still being felt today.
At its heart, though, this is a story about a group of traders and brokers who found a flaw in the machine and exploited it for all it was worth. Despite their actions, the men who shared their stories with us are not one-dimensional hucksters unburdened by a conscience. For the most part, they are smart, likeable men – and they are all men – who love their children and cry at sad movies and who somewhere along the way convinced themselves that responsibility for their behavior lay with the system rather than themselves.
