Ugly Americans is the true story of John Malcolm, a
Princeton graduate who traveled halfway around the world in
search of the American dream and pulled off a trade that
could be described as the biggest deal in the history of
the financial markets.
Without speaking a word of Japanese, with barely a penny in
his pocket, Malcolm was thrown into the bizarre life of an
ex-pat trader. Surrounded by characters ripped right out of
a Hollywood thriller, he quickly learned how to survive in
a cutthroat world -- at the feet of the biggest players the
markets have ever known.
Malcolm was first an assistant trading huge positions for
Nick Leeson, the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank
-- the oldest in England. He was the right-hand man to an
enigmatic and brilliant hedge-fund cowboy, Dean Carney, and
grew into one of the biggest derivatives traders in all of
Asia. Along the way, Malcolm fell in love with the daughter
of a Yakuza gangster, built a vast fortune out of thin air,
and came head to head with violent Japanese mobsters.
Malcolm and his twentysomething, Ivy League-schooled
colleagues rode the crashing waves of the Asian markets
during the mid-to late 1990s, culminating in a single deal
the likes of which had never been seen before, or
since.
A real-life mixture of Liar’s Poker and Wall Street,
brimming with intense action, romance, underground sex,
vivid locales, and exotic characters, Ugly Americans is the
untold, true story that will rock the financial community
and redefine an era.
