The Fix by Liam Vaughan
"The first thing you think is where's the edge, where can I make a bit more money, how can I push, push the boundaries.
"An incredibly interesting read" (TraderLife, April 2017) "... a rollicking fast-paced thriller about an industry crisis with some very human stories." (FS Focus, April 2017) "The Fix is a good read - and a cautionary tale about how the financial system has evolved picemeal." (Financial World, April 2017) "Everyone currently working in the financial services industry, or even simply implicated by it, should read this book." (International Investment, April 2017). "The authors have an eye for juicy anecdotes and skillfully avoid drowning the reader in too much detail." (MoneyWeek, March 2017) "..a detailed and well-researched expose of the Libor manipulation that led to the conviction of trader Tom Hayes." (Thomson Reuters Compliance Complete, March 2017) "...a gripping tale of greed and incompetence." (Funds Europe, February 2017) "Ambitious graduates joining the City can read every compliance manual on banks' bookshelves, or they could just read this book." (Euromoney, February 2017) "The Fix is the compelling story of the Libor scandal told through Hayes, an anti-hero who combined technical skill with a bullying personality to become a star trader... a gripping thriller." (Financial Times, January 2017)
LIAM VAUGHAN and GAVIN FINCH write about financial crime for Bloomberg and Businessweek magazine. In 2013, they uncovered a global conspiracy to manipulate the $5 trillion a day foreign exchange market, sparking investigations on three continents that to date have resulted in $10 billion in fines for banks including JPMorgan, Barclays and UBS.
In 2014, they were awarded the prestigious Gerald Loeb Award for excellence in business journalism and the Harold Wincott prize for the best financial journalism of the year.
