Imagine loosing over $100 million of other people's money in the 2000 stock market crash due to circumstances beyond your control. The feeling of helplessness, guilt, frustration, anger, and the ensuing legal battles. Blame it on the Broker chronicles the insider's experience of Joe DiDomenico, a young broker with Merrill Lynch, entrusted with the fortunes of 40 burgeoning Microsoft millionaires. The story follows the loss of over $100 million of his clients' money, and the ensuing court battles over who was going to pay. Through attorney correspondence, Joe's unique insight into the daily lives of his clients through their financial transactions is revealed to show their most intimate actions: infidelity, insider trading, acne treatments, fetishes, ostentatious lifestyles, and then the true weirder stuff. In litigation, all topics of conversation are fair game when making the case of paying damages.
