Financial Scandals in Fiction Is truth always stranger than fiction or can fiction forewarn us of dangers lying in wait? Information about the works of Linda Davies, former investment banker and now a novelist. Derivatives, non-existent gold reserves and copper futures have been the stuff of frauds on an almost incomprehensible scale. The activities of Nick Leeson, Toshihide Iguchi, Yasuo Hamanaka and other super star traders have made the bank robbing activities of Jesse James and the outlaws of the old Wild West seem like pathetic, kindergarten stuff in comparison. This is a guide with lots of links to information on these and other lesser-known financial scandals. While most of the cases in these pages involve real or suspected criminal activity a few are included simply because the scale of the incompetence or greed makes them scandalous. The largest section, Classic Financial Scandals. includes the best known ones of recent years, e.g. Barings Bank, BCCI, BRE-X, etc. and some other very large ones that have received less publicity. In addition there are sections on related topics such as political corruption, money laundering, organised crime, official regulatory and anti-fraud organisations, other bodies fighting fraud, and finally, financial scandals in fiction. The last section is about the work of my sister, the novelist and former banker Linda Davies. Among the links from that page is one to a set of pages on the financial crime genre in general. The Lycos Directory, formerly Point Survey, rated the Financial Scandals site in the top 5% of Web sites. Scout Report for Business and Economics Selection, 26 February, 1998.

Disclaimer The Financial Scandals site contains links to sources of information on various frauds, scams, swindles or scandals in banking, finance and related areas. It is maintained by Roy Davies, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I make no judgements as to the reliability of the information. Presumably that from official bodies should be more reliable and authoritative than information from satirical magazines or individuals with an axe to grind - but then again it could be argued that official bodies have a vested interest in playing down their own shortcomings! Readers will have to make up their own minds about these issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There have been visitors to this page since 30 January 1998.
