The Story of Money · The ‘Sheriff of Wall Street’ who exposed bankers’ lies · 26 Aug 2026 podcast

Well, I must say one of the other great lessons of the Spitzer story, aside from the frailty of human um psychology and emotions, um, and the susceptibility to be dragged and distracted uh by, you know, succumbing to various vices, um, one of the main lessons is that whenever you see retail dashing into a new product,

Um but and whenever you see, I should say, you know, German and Japanese regional banks or investment groups dashing into a new product, that usually signals that the peak is near.

And the fact we've seen such a big retail boom in the last year in America is very striking in terms of retail investors getting involved in all kinds of finance and all kinds of new instruments.

So lots to think about, um, lots to watch for in terms of the question of who

might actually end up being the next um spitzerest type character, hopefully without the scandal going forward.

So just remains for me to say a very big thank you to Viewbrook.

Your book, Spoiling for a Fight, I think is still very, very relevant.

And it's been great having you on the show.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me.

It's been a pleasure.

So that's it for this episode of the Story of Money from the Financial Times.
