Review: Nothing But Money: How the Mob Infiltrated Wall Street

Nothing But Money: How the Mob Infiltrated Wall Street by Greg B. Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is not really "How the Mob Infiltrated Wall Street". Page 187 states how Mafia-ran pump and dump boiler rooms were already established: "Pump and dump had actually been around since the 1980s, when a handful of gangsters made some money hyping bogus stock." What makes this interesting, beside the at time tedious financial industry maneuvers, is a glimpse inside a still functioning Bonanno crime family post Donnie Brasco.
