Synopsis Millions of Americans lost billions of dollars as a result of Wall Street's fast and loose business practices of the 1990s--in other words, to greed. The story was first reported by Wall Street Journal reporter Charles Gasparino, who now, in BLOOD ON THE STREET, uses court papers and other official documents, as well as interviews with people in the know, to write this investigative look into how the street operates and how petty backbiting and avarice control what happens to other people's money. Naming names as well as companies--Jack Grubman of Salomon Smith Barney, Sandy Weil of Citigroup, C. Michael Armstrong of AT&T--Gasparino chronicles how the regulators did not regulate and how the Attorney General of New York, Elliot Spitzer, finally stepped in to act decisively against the investment community.
