very funny if you have worked in Banking and can put his comments into perspective. very instructive and indicative of why some investment banks had to close doors. I question he is only 24 at the time of writing as he sounds more senior than that.

recommends it for:

Funny parody/satire, but remember it is fictional. Still worth a few laughs.
