He had a corner office at a top Wall Street firm, a membership at the New York Racquet Club, a yacht, a condo in Palm Beach.and all the trappings of wealth that hid his real beginnings and the dirtiest get-rich-quick scheme of them all. THE SOURCE. R. Foster Winans, the naïve, broke, and ambitious columnist of The Wall Street Journal's influential "Heard on the Street." He loved his job, but he hated making peanuts while all around him men were making millions.until the day a limo took him uptown, to a posh club and an offer he couldn't refuse. THE DEAL. Simple.foolproof.and according to one stock exchange official, like knowing "which horse would win the fifth race at Pimlico." Here, for the first time, is the whole shocking ruth of how it worked, who did it, how much they made--and how they got caught! AWARDS: A Book-of-the-Month Club Featured Alternate Selection.
