Our take
AI-draftedWhitfield writes as a participant, not just a chronicler: he and Inigo Philbrick were friends and rival dealers before Philbrick's schemes collapsed into a $86 million fraud conviction. Reviewers noted its thriller-like pacing and its granular detail on how the trick actually worked, but the more interesting material is Whitfield's discomfort at his own complicity in a market built on opacity and trust nobody bothers to verify.
