Season 1
Episode 61
Published 4 days, 23 hours ago
Description
You’re looking at the world’s most powerful bank. The numbers are clean, the leaders are legends, and somewhere in London, a desk is quietly building a trade so big it will warp the market itself. This is where the story begins.Before the headlines, there was only a sense of certainty. JPMorgan Chase had survived the financial crisis with a reputation for discipline, for strength, for being the smartest firm in the room. That mattered, because the Chief Investment Office, the so-called CIO, was there not to take wild bets, but to keep the bank’s money safe. It was supposed to hedge risk, not chase profit. But sometimes, the most dangerous lies are the ones that start as good intentions.Aurelius and Malik take on this case in full — 5 chapters, 33 minutes, one complete story.Learn more at: https://thefraudarchive.com/fraud/jpmorgan-bruno-iksil
