Our book this month is called “Iceland's Secret “ by Jared Bibler. Jared is an American who worked on Wall Street as an analyst and trader. In 2004 after several trips to Iceland, he fell in love with the country and eventually sought employment in finance. His first role in Iceland was developing software that was used for asset management. He was finding the software development role to be a back room effort with little human interaction. After this, Jared took a role at one of the three large banks in Iceland on their trading desk. It was a role for which he was well suited. His Wall Street experience had prepared him well. Never mind the fact that almost everything was being done in excel spreadsheets when proper databases simply did not exist. Along the way Jared observed financial irregularities which he dutifully reported to his superiors and was given assurances that they were being handled. But the evidence showed that they were being swept under the rug. These days in Iceland were heady days. Private jets flew in and out of the island on a regular basis. Construction cranes were everywhere. The number of new units far exceeded any reasonable demand from the local population. Jared quit his job at the bank days before the entire financial system collapsed. The Icelandic crisis of 2008 was an earthquake that levelled the financial fortunes of a whole country. Jared found a job at the regulator and was put to work investigating what happened. In a temporary cubicle erected in the old lunch room at the regulator, he set about trying to find out what happened, who did it, and who needed to pay for it. Six months into his new job, trading patterns for one of the banks on a single day showed what appeared to be unlimited buying from a single trader who bought all the shares that day in one of Iceland's banks. It was a market with only one buyer. Further investigation showed the same pattern the day before and the week before and then the month before that. The pattern of unlimited buying had been going on for years and it involved not one bank, but all three of Iceland's largest banks. --------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Jared Bibler joins the Essential Podcast to discuss his book "Iceland's Secret: The Untold Story of the World's Biggest Con". The saga of Iceland's banks during the global financial crisis is both implausibly strange and strangely plausible.
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. He is also a CFA charter holder with nearly 20 years of broad experience in the global financial markets. Jared started his career in Boston and New York, where he worked as a consultant to a Wall Street giant.Following that, he moved to Iceland where he supported the Icelandic pension funds' foreign investments. Unhappy with this environment, he resigned from his job at a leading Icelandic bank days before the 2008 Icelandic financial crisis. He was subsequently hired to head a special investigation team at the Icelandic markets regulator. Jared and his team referred more than 30 criminal cases to the Special Prosecutor of Iceland, including the largest stock market manipulation cases to be prosecuted globally.Guest Links:Iceland's SecretFinancial Times Book ReviewSocials:TwitterOther Book Links:The Dark TowerIf you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!Paypal donation link2 Bulls Discord:https://discord.gg/Q8hft2zMTMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this first episode of the Library of Mistakes podcast series, Russell Napier explores the 2008 financial collapse of Iceland with Jared Bibler, author of Iceland's Secret – The Untold Story Of The World's Biggest Con. After moving from the US financial world to Iceland in search of a quieter life, Jared found himself working for the nation's tiny, cash-strapped regulator, digging into multi-billion-dollar crimes carried out by top executives. His page-turner of a book provides a fascinating basis for this entertaining discussion.
Greg interviews author and investigator of financial wrongdoings, Jared Bibler. Jared graduated from MIT with a master's in engineering before making his mark on Wall Street. The combination of advanced systems engineering, and financial knowledge allowed Jared to excel at building more efficient and robust processes within several banks. Eventually Jared picked up and moved to Iceland, working for one of the top 3 banks in Iceland for a several years. The Iceland crisis in 2008 hit, and Jared was brought in as lead investigator to figure out what had happened. Today, Jared resides in Switzerland and just released his book, “Iceland's Secret: The Untold Story of the World's Biggest Con”.

Have you been caught in a scam? It happens more than you may think! When we think of the biggest financial scandals, Bernie Madoff comes to mind but there was an even bigger scandal that happened to an entire country. In the United States, we suffered in 2008 during the financial crisis but another country saw its stock market tank even more than ours. Which one? Iceland. Jared Bibler worked for one of the major Icelandic banks and quit just days before the collapse. He then worked with Icelandic regulators to uncover the reasons behind the collapse and it's a scenario that even he didn't see coming. He shares it all today and tells his view of what happened. During our headline we're talking about retirement savings. Oregon implemented an automatic savings plan for people without access to a company retirement plan. Is it working? Is it the best plan out there? Joe and OG share their differing views! Then we answer Deb's question about high yield savings accounts and Doug shares his trivia. Enjoy!

Jared Bibler joins the podcast to discuss his book 'Iceland's Secret' and his experience living through that country's financial collapse in 2008. It was a very dark period in Iceland's history, with individuals losing homes and savings and not being able to buy food. The author experienced this first-hand, initially as an asset manager and later working for regulators seeking to bring the responsible parties to justice. The crisis in Iceland shocked the world but was quickly overshadowed by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the U.S. Today it is largely forgotten outside of Iceland. But the author says his experience holds many lessons for the present day. If nothing else, his experience holds lessons for those interested in hedging against a total collapse of capital markets and civil society. Content Highlights (Spotify users can link to the start of the segment directly by clicking on the timestamp) Why Iceland's financial crisis remains misunderstood and not discussed while still holding important relevance to global capital markets today (2:36); Iceland as an extreme example of the contemporary world (7:51); Corruption unfortunately remains 'fairly endemic' worldwide in the guest's experience, which transcends several countries (12:43); The next crisis will make 2008 'look like a walk in the park' (14:27); Lessons for the prepper community: hard currency retains its value quite well in such crises (18:57); The crypto world is ripe for fraud and 'tethered' coins do not seem to offer the protection claimed (23:30); Background on the guest (29:21); How he's spending his days now and why ESG has the attention of global regulators (36:54); Insider trading, especially around M&A deals, is rampant (38:36); What has changed in Iceland, other than a tourist explosion (43:50).

Jared Bibler, author of 'Iceland's Secret: The Untold Story of the World's Biggest Con' discusses the collapse of the frontier market's economy and market in 2008, a chapter in financial history largely unnoticed in the US because America was going through its own financial crisis, caused by the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Bibler notes that the three Icelandic banks that imploded at that time were -- to the small country's economy -- ' the size of 300 Lehman Brothers' representing about 90 percent of Iceland's stock market as a result of stock buy-backs that are similar-yet-different to the ones Americans see happening domestically every day. Also on the show, Ted Pulsifer discusses a Piplsay.com study on how buy-now/pay-later programs are becoming increasingly popular, which may also be making them financially hazardous, investment analyst Kyle Guske of New Constructs puts a mutual fund in 'the Danger Zone," and Chuck discusses the latest twist in his annual 'Cash or candy' Halloween experiment.
Þórður Snær Júlíusson, ritstjóri Kjarnans, fjallaði um bók sem er væntanleg í næstu viku um aðdraganda hrunsins en höfundur hennar, Jared Bibler, starfaði hjá Landsbankanum fyrir hrun en sagði upp starfinu skömmu áður en bankarnir féllu. Hann var ráðinn til Fjármálaeftirlitsins til að stýra rannsóknum á bankahruninu og í bókinni segir hann meðal annars að einhver mál hafi ekki verið rannsökuð til hlítar heldur stungið undir stól. Jafnframt fjallar Jared Bibler um gjaldeyrismarkaðinn eftir hrun og að þar hafi ekki alltaf verið farið að lögum. Arthúr Björgvin Bollason segir að það geti tekið langan tíma að mynda nýja ríkisstjórn í Þýskalandi. Nú er forystufólk Græningja og Frjálslyndra demókrata að ræða saman og að reyna að komast að samkomulagi um það sem helst skilur flokkana að. Þegar því verki er lokið kemur í ljós hvort flokkarnir tveir fari í ríkisstjórnarsamstarf með Jafnaðarmannaflokknum eða Kristilegum demókrötum.
