In the mid-2000’s, Turney Duff was, to all appearances, the very picture of American success. One of Wall Street’s hottest traders, he was a rising star with Raj Rajartnam’s legendary Galleon Group before forging his own path with Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz.

What few knew was that the key to Turney’s remarkable success wasn’t a super genius IQ or family connections, but rather a winning personality — because the real money wasn’t made on the trading floor or behind a computer screen, but, rather, in whispered deals in the city’s most exclusive nightspots, surrounded by the best drugs and the hottest women.

For Turney, this created a perilously seductive cycle: the harder he partied, the more connected and successful he became, which meant he could party even harder. In time, he became a wandering paradox, an addictive mess after hours, and King of the Street from nine to five. Along the way, he learned some important lessons about himself, and the too-wild-to-be-believed world of Wall Street trading.
