Özet

It was the most brutal corporate restructuring in Wall Street history. The 2015 bankruptcy brawl for the storied casino giant, Caesars Entertainment, pitted brilliant and ruthless private equity legends against the world's most relentless hedge fund wizards.

The Caesars bankruptcy put a twist on the old-fashioned casino heist. Through a $27 billion leveraged buyout and a dizzying string of financial engineering transactions, Apollo and TPG - in the midst of the post-Great Recession slump - had seemingly snatched every prime asset of the company from creditors, with the notable exception of Caesars Palace. But Caesars's hedge fund lenders and bondholders had scooped up the company's paper for nickels and dimes. And with their own armies of lawyers and bankers, they were ready to do everything necessary to take back what they believed was theirs - if they could just stop their own infighting.

These modern financiers now dominate the scene in corporate America as their fight-to-the-death mentality continues to shock workers, politicians, and broader society - and even each other.

Insightful and entertaining

This is a highly complex story/investigation with many moving parts but it is told with clarity and is a complete page turner

Fascinating insight into the ruthless Apollo machine. These are FT writers and are clearly writing for a finance type audience. Even so, they could have simplified some of the technical back and forth. It’s also a bit too long.

Great story but too technical

Fabulous narration of a well researched and flowing book which kept me interested all through each chapter.

Fantastically researched and chronicled book

Even Chris the narrator sounded like he was struggling to stay awake. Far too technical and detailed. What should be a fascinating story is more like reading hours of an actual office, minutes of meeting, notes. Haven't read anything as bad as this. Ever.

An interesting story told utterly boring
