The Milkin one remains the craziest. One of my favorite books was specifically about uh Michael Milin and it's by James Stewart, specifically about the whole like insider trading arbitrage scandal back in the 1980s and Rudy Giuliani was one of the people who helped prosecute them.

Why people recommend it
Den of Thieves by James B. Stewart is a detailed true-crime financial history that chronicles the 1980s insider trading and arbitrage scandals involving prominent figures like Michael Milken and the prosecutions led by figures such as Rudy Giuliani. The book received high praise across multiple media platforms, including discussions on Breaking Points by Emily Jashinsky and Saagar Enjeti, as well as mentions by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Jashinsky described it as one of her absolute favorite books regarding white-collar crime, noting that the famous film Wall Street drew inspiration from characters featured in Stewart's narrative, including Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken, whom Jashinsky characterized as one of the most notorious white-collar criminals in history. Enjeti strongly recommended the title to listeners who had never read it during discussions on white-collar financial scandals and presidential pardons. Similarly, Andrew Ross Sorkin recommended the text on The Book Review and All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg, asserting that anyone interested in business must read Stewart's work. Sorkin also cited the book as a major personal inspiration for his own character-driven style of financial writing and reporting.
