520    Frank Partnoy delivers a thrilling history lesson about an
       era and a nearly century-old Wall Street scandal rooted in
       unscrupulous investment banking and derivative hedge funds
       techniques developed by one man--Ivar Kreuger. Kreuger 
       made his fortune in the 1920s by raising money from 
       American investors to lend to European governments in 
       exchange for match monopolies. Then he suddenly committed 
       suicide in 1932. As his fraudulent schemes unraveled in 
       the wake of his death, the so-called "Kreuger crash" began,
       bankrupting millions and leading to the enactment of the 
       securities laws of 1933 and 1934.
