Description
Rigged tells an incredible rags-to-riches story of David Russo, an Italian-American upstart from the streets of Brooklyn who claws his way into the wild, frenetic world of the testosterone-laced warrens of the Merc Exchange. The asylum-like oil trading centre located in Lower Manhattan where billions of dollars trade every week, is a place where former garbagemen become millionaires overnight and fistfights break out on the trading-room floor. But the Merc is just the starting place of an adventure that leads David to private yachts in Monte Carlo, the gold-lined hotel palaces of Dubai, and dangerous deals in the back alleys of Beijing. Rigged tells the true story of one man's adventure to revolutionise the oil trading industry - and along with it, the world.
