It’s 2009, and Steve Cohen is watching the financial crisis destroy investors around the world - with a big smile. Why with a smile? Well, while the financial world is burning like ancient Rome, Steven Cohen is living out the dream of every mildly successful instagram trader; He option-traded his way to a multi-billion dollar portfolio for his firm SAC Capital Advisors, and he is only just getting started; Cohen is famous for his fast-paced volatile trades, and was successful at it for years. But just a few years later, it will all come crumbling down for Cohen as the SEC drops the hammer on him for insider trading. What will ensue will be a Roman empire-like collapse for Cohen, followed by a revival of epic proportions. But how did Cohen, a once average guy, manage to make money while everyone was losing money?
