Quotes by Guy Lawson (?)

“Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes reminded us, it is a ‘less evil that some criminals should escape than that the government should play an ignoble part.”
― Guy Lawson, The Brotherhoods: The True Story of Two Cops Who Murdered for the Mafia

“Over the years, Ellis had dealt with many eccentric hedge fund traders. A shockingly large number were given to wild mood swings and nutty investment theories.”
― Guy Lawson, Octopus: Sam Israel, the Secret Market, and Wall Street's Wildest Con

“A trader named Chuck Zion took an interest in Sam. Known as Brown Bear, Zion showed Israel how to be a “paper trader.” Following a matrix of three hundred companies, Israel learned to track the price movement of shares so that he could recognize characteristics. “Brown Bear made sure I was doing it every day, not being lazy and wasting his time,” Sam recalled. “He was giving me a gift. Once you know the price range of a share, you get a chart in your head. You know if the stock is streaking. You know if it is tanking. Each stock has characteristics in the way it trades. Knowing the price of a stock was like dating a girl. How well do you know her? What does she like to do? What’s her mood today?”
― Guy Lawson, Octopus: Sam Israel, the Secret Market, and Wall Street's Wildest Con
