Fleecing The Lamb
Fleecing the Lamb: The Inside Story of the Vancouver Stock Exchange by David Cruise and Alison Griffiths is a gripping exposé of one of the most notorious financial playgrounds in North America. Published in 1987, this hardcover investigation dives deep into the wild west of Canadian finance, where fortunes were made—and lost—on speculation, manipulation, and a startling lack of oversight.
With journalistic precision and narrative flair, the authors uncover:
- The inner workings of the Vancouver Stock Exchange during its most volatile years
- Profiles of rogue traders, shady promoters, and complicit regulators
- Real-life tales of pump-and-dump schemes and investor deception
- The broader implications for Canada’s financial credibility
Perfect for readers of true crime, financial history, and investigative journalism, Fleecing the Lamb is a cautionary tale that still resonates in today’s era of crypto booms and market bubbles.
