Jared Bibler, author of Iceland's Secret returns to the shop this week to continue our discussion on the events before and after the collapse of Iceland's big 3 banks. This time we talk about some more of the details surrounding the shady practices used by the banks to prop up their shares, how they then tried to hide those shares and the banks' attempts to manipulate the credit default swap spreads. Jared also gives us an update on some of the events that occurred after the book was published and Kyle wraps things up by criticizing a review of Jared's book on Amazon.About Jared BiblerJared Bibler is a graduate of MIT, where he studied engineering.
