Like Michael Lewisâs classic Liarâs Poker, Jared Dillianâs Street Freak takes readers behind the scenes of the legendary Lehman Brothers, exposing its outrageous and often hilarious corporate culture.
In this ultracompetitive Ivy League world where men would flip over each otherâs ties to check out the labels (also known as the âLehman Handshakeâ), Dillian was an outsider as an ex-military, working-class guy in a Menâs Wearhouse suit. But he was scrappy and determined; in interviews he told potential managers that, âNobody can work harder than me. Nobody is willing to put in the hours I will put in. I am insane.â As it turned out, on Wall Street insanity is not an undesirable qualit! y.
Dillian rose from green associate, checking IDs at the e! ntrance to the trading floor in the paranoid days following 9/11, to become an integral part of Lehmanâs culture in its final years as the firmâs head Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) trader. More than $1 trillion in wealth passed through his hands, but at the cost of an untold number of smashed telephones and tape dispensers. Over time, the exhilarating and explosively stressful job took its toll on him. The extreme highs and lows of the trading floor masked and exacerbated the symptoms of Dillianâs undiagnosed bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorders, leading to a downward spiral that eventually landed him in a psychiatric ward.
Dillian put his life back together, returning to work healthier than ever before, but Lehman itself had seemingly gone mad, having made outrageous bets on commercial real estate, and was quickly headed for self-destruction.
A raucous account of the final years of Lehman Brothers, from 9/11 at its World Financial Center offices through the firmâs ! bankruptcy, including vivid portraits of trading-floor culture, the financial meltdown, and the companyâs ultimate collapse, Street Freak is a raw, visceral, and wholly original memoir of life inside the belly of the beast during the most tumultuous time in financial history. In his electrifying and fresh voice, Dillian takes readers on a wild ride through madness and back, both inside Lehman Brothers and himself.Drum Cartridge - 20000 Page
