The dust had yet to settle on the global financial crisis in 2009 when an unlikely Wharton grad set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system.

The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone—bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor.
