  • Summary

  • When you picture the 1980s’ Wall Street boys’ club, you might not think of Chicago. But in 1987, its Mercantile Exchange dwarfed the New York Stock Exchange in both dollars and international influence. Member-owned and expanding rapidly, how it worked—or who was working it—was more obscured. That’s when the FBI stepped in. The Feds sought to shine light upon it through a high-stakes operation, the most expensive in its history, to expose corruption at Chicago’s Merc and Board of Trade. What ensued was an elaborate undercover investigation resulting in dozens of indictments for traders who were accused of conspiring to defraud farmers, banks, pension funds, and other customers from around the world. The government either had itself a huge success that reformed our financial markets, or it was total flop—it all depends who you ask. Led by host Anjay Nagpal, after more than thirty years, Brokers, Bagmen, & Moles gets to the truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
