    Underbelly: Brokers, Bagmen, & Moles - Season 1 Trailer
    2023/04/04
    When you picture the 1980s’ Wall Street boys’ club, you might not think of Chicago. But in 1987, its Mercantile Exchange dwarfed the New York Stock Exchange in both dollars and international influence. Member-owned and expanding rapidly, how it worked—or who was working it—was more obscured. That’s when the FBI stepped in. The Feds sought to shine light upon it through a high-stakes operation, the most expensive in its history, to expose corruption at Chicago’s Merc and Board of Trade. What ensued was an elaborate undercover investigation resulting in dozens of indictments for traders who were accused of conspiring to defraud farmers, banks, pension funds, and other customers from around the world. The government either had itself a huge success that reformed our financial markets, or it was total flop—it all depends who you ask. Led by host Anjay Nagpal, after more than thirty years, Brokers, Bagmen, & Moles gets to the truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    To understand this case, you need to meet the colorful cast of characters at its core: Chicago commodities traders. Meet part-time bookie, possible mob associate, and full-time trader Tony “T-Bun” Bonjourno. He’s a blue collar guy whose dad’s friend helped him get a job on the floor. Once there, T-Bun and his friends live a life beyond their wildest fantasies. T-Bun gives us our first glimpse of the FBI agents’ actions on the floor and tells an incredible story that might just be the answer to why this investigation ended prematurely.

    S1 01: The Biggest Small Town in the World
    2023/04/26
    In the 1980s, blue collar kids started making millions at Chicago’s commodities exchanges. This century-old boys' club was one of the best-kept secrets in the world until the FBI showed up and tried to end the party. The FBI investigation put the exchanges on front pages everywhere, but when the Feds packed up, business went back to usual—like they’d never been there. Thirty years later, former-trader-turned-Hollywood exec Anjay Nagpal thinks there's something strange about this case. He taps his Chicago connections and after a few calls, he's already poking holes in the government's long-accepted narrative of the investigation.
