Description: If Tony Gould, head of international banking at the Manhattan Banking Corporation, can prod his fellow bankers to syndicate a one billion dollar loan to the African Republic of Maraka, the rewards are rich. His bank would rise to the top ranks in the New York banking world, and Tony would be one step closer to replacing Miles Vanderpane as Chairman and CEO. This book is grounded in the real world of high sakes banking. This story can serve as a cautionary tale as it illuminates the type of irresponsible behaviors that led to the near collapse of the banking system in 2008. -- P. [4] of cover.
