What if I told you that one of the biggest insider trading scandals in Wall Street in the 1980s wasn’t orchestrated by a hedge fund titan or a corrupt CEO, but by a charming underpaid journalist for the Wall Street Journal who ruined his ruined his promising career and sullied the reputation of the great Wasll Street Journal- and all for just a few thousand dollars. This is the story of  R. Foster Winans who was a rising star journalist in the heyday of the 1980’s, the era of “Greed is good.” This is not just a story of financial crime; it’s a cautionary tale where you might find yourself wondering: would I have done the same? It’s a cracking story, enjoy.
