Jay Newman makes BIG bets. In his 40 year hedge fund career, Jay was the guy who fought to recover deca-billion dollar debt defaults by countries like the Congo, Panama, and Argentina. Recouping from these deadbeat governments required long term thinking, stealthy patience, and giant cojones, the same attributes required to publish a debut novel, which Jay did earlier this year. The New Yorker called his new book, Undermoney a combination of “espionage, financial intrigue, and geopolitics with a cynicism developed through years of observing politicians and Wall Street titans up close.” And because the plot lines include Russian oligarchs, private militias, and Vladimir Putin, Undermoney is also “unexpectedly timely.” I’ve read it: it’s juicy and enticing.
