The 1980's 'Decade of Greed' was a period of rampant financial crime some of the most absurd Wall Street stories. One of those stories is the rise and fall of the largest insider trading scandal in SEC history. Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken and their network of fraud gave birth to one of Hollywood's greatest movie villains, Gordon Gekko, in the 1987 Wall Street film.

These are just the ones who got caught, a tiny fraction of one percent of the total corruption.

Concerning Michael Milken you should have said, "Insider trading, tax evasion, stock manipulation, mail fraud, and donning an incredibly terrible toupee on the exchange floor." Talk about a bird's nest.

Wall Street always sells greed as “ambition” when the people at the top are cashing in. But the moment regular workers lose their jobs or families get pushed off their land, suddenly you see what that greed really costs. That’s the real fraud not just the money, but who ends up paying for it

SEEKING ALPHA - News & Analysis
Crazy part is how normalized it all felt at the time until everything started collapsing one by one It makes me wonder was it really a different era, or just people getting better at hiding the same behavior? And if something like this happened today, do you think it would even get caught early or would it take just as long to unravel?

I think the SEC is either corrupted or fucking hopeless. Couldn't even catch madolf after a couple of looks and he was just making shit up and doing no trades

enjoy the video. And I remember a lot of this when I was growing up. However, if he had three suitcases full of $100 bills he'd have considerably more than $750,000. $1 million would easily fit in a reasonably size carry-on bag. With a lot of extra room

Greed is only 'good' if you're the one holding the briefcase.
For everyone else, it means losing your job, your home, and your livelihood.

You should do a part two about Milken. He left prison with much of the Billions he illegally made when he went to prison. Crime paid.

"Nabs-co?" It's pronounced "Nah-Bis-Co."
More User Perspectives
So let’s get this straight. They made hundreds of millions of dollars by insider trading and served 12-24 months on prison.
The lesson: if you steal small, you get screwed. But if you steal big, you will be fine.
All of that greed for nothing.

@TolulopeAbiodun-PaulInsider trading is illegal unless you are a member of either branch of the U.S. Congress or a billionaire, but this is wrong
@WealthNarratorsI grew up as a surf bum but 10 years ago became fascinated with the stock market. The stories i have watched in that time filled so many questions in my head about what appeared from the outside as a boring world of finance. I have never been happier learning about this stuff. Surfings great when you are young but the financial world is something else. I never stop learning. One day, ill make a bag but im more than happy using my knowledge to offset my income. I feel sorry for people who dont undertake this journey. It answers all the questions someone who is struggling to keep up with an ever changing economy asks every day.
Thankyou Hamish, youre on my list, mate. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤙🤙💪💪
All these guys have something in common.
@iambinksyThe names in this doc are the movers and shakers who even 40 yrs. later made waves not ripples in financial markets.
@winstonwolffNa-BIS-co.
@steveralston8837I'd disagree with that intro. In the 70s Wall Street crime was mostly stealing physical shares because most firms were more than 30 days behind on paperwork

@yourfavoritefilms1⚖ OFFICIAL NOTICE: $10,000,000 INDIVIDUAL LAWSUIT AGAINST YALE, ASPECTA, OKX & BINANCE ⚖
This is no longer a dispute; it is a direct legal confrontation. I am filing a $10 Million Individual Tort Claim for systemic fraud, institutional negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 🏛💥
THE LEGAL GROUNDS (March 2026 Precedents):
Strict Liability for Defective Platform Design: Under the landmark Lanier v. Meta/Google verdict (March 25, 2026), platforms are now strictly liable for designs that facilitate financial ruin and psychological trauma. 🔨
Institutional Malpractice: @Yale University (via Tsai CITY) breached its Duty of Care by lending its prestige to the Aspecta (ASP) scam, directly inducing trust in a fraudulent asset. 🏫🎓
Criminal Complicity: @okx (Criminal Case 25-cr-00069-KPF) and @binance operated without effective consumer protection, knowingly exposing vulnerable families to predatory schemes. ⛓
THE HUMAN COST (Irreparable Harm):
The stolen funds were the sole medical reserve for my 15-year-old daughter suffering from Epilepsy and Mental Illness. By facilitating this fraud, these multi-billion dollar entities have directly jeopardized the survival of a disabled child. This is a "Special Damages" case of the highest order. 🚑💔
THE ULTIMATUM: ⏳
My legal team is prepared to file the $10,000,000 lawsuit in the US and Hong Kong.
Settlement Window: I offer a final 48-hour grace period for a symbolic immediate restitution of $10,000 USD to cover urgent medical bills.
Consequence: Once the clock hits zero, the $10M claim proceeds. We will trigger the "Discovery" phase, forcing Yale and the Exchanges to surrender all internal emails and private logs regarding the ASP listing.
The Yale Corporation, SEC, SFC, and FCA are now monitoring this case. The world is watching how the "Ivy League" responds to the endangerment of a sick child. 🌍👁

Insider trading is muddy concept..My close friend has a friend working in a company. In one meeting he told us how bad the company is doing. Naturally my friend sold the stocks he owned..and then short time later the stock plummeted. What are you going to do when a friend tells to you about this?
@b.7944I played the Markets in the '80s. As a small-bit player, I saw the statistical calculations showing a huge crash. I took all my money and cashed out my blue chips.
Guess what?...the Markets were finally hit with a "financial hydrogen bomb" in 1987.
80s fraud ain’t 5hit compared to today
@lukey1210i don't understand anything ......just think MONEY IS EVERYTHING AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN LIFE
@meeyoou-p6g6:58 funny how Congress can just do this all they want and none of them get in trouble for it.
@I_ziptied_itOne of the best. Great content. Keep it up 😊
@AgtmpSo basically, the Bahamas bank betrayed its clients. Don't trust bank employees to defend your interests.
@dragomatinov2720You think you would show up and think America first words
@americasunderdogJust read Stewart's book Den of Thieves. Get the latest edition from 2008.
@longlakeshoreI grew up in Ireland and left school in 1985 and studied accounting and became an accountant. The 80s were great though and yes fraud was rampant both sides of the Atlantic and let's be honest here accountants and " regulations " assisted in every one of those major frauds.
But nobody was really punished, the tax payers however were. New accounting standards and regulations were introduced but it just keeps happening.
And all the players, Boseky, Milken, etc all went on to live very wealthy lives.
S&L crisis needs a video too.
@13:07 Rupert Murdoch is shown in the Junk Bond article
