Gonna keep it all over here with the other Chicago Crime material....Do you have any idea who the person in Chicago, the mentor, is?

One scam he would pull would be to get info in NY then make the trades on the Cincinnati regional exchange. He was front running probably electronically ahead of floor brokers on the NYSE who complained to either the NYSE or SEC.

Chicago mob also may mean the CBOE, CME, CBOT in Chicago - which would include options and futures plus credit default swaps which certain people probably manipulated in the late summer of 2008 to crash the market and get someone elected.

No. I wonder if the mentor is mentioned in the book.

The most connected person on the options exchanges in Chicago is probably Leo Melamed. I do not know a lot about him but I doubt it is him. I bet the author does not name the person. Maybe but probably not.
