Summary:
"During the 1980s,
Michael
Milken
at Drexel Burnham Lambert was the Billionaire Junk Bond King. He invented such things as “the highly confident letter” (“I’m highly confident that I can raise the money you need to buy company X”) and the “blind pool” (“Here’s a billion dollars: let us help you buy a company”), and he financed the biggest corporate raiders -- men like Carl Icahn and Ronald Perelman. And then, on September 7, 1988, things changed...The Securities and Exchange Commission charged
Milken
and Drexel Burnham Lambert with insider trading and stock fraud. Waiting in the wings was the US District Attorney, who wanted to file criminal and racketeering charges. What motivated
Milken
in his drive for power and money? Did Drexel Burnham Lambert condone the breaking of laws?"--Publisher.
