Excerpt
"We just hit the iceberg," Jaime Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warned his men over dinner just 24 hours before Lehman Brothers would file for bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch would sell itself to Bank of America, and the insurance giant AIG would teeter-all within one afternoon. "The boat is filling and the music is still playing. There's not enough lifeboats. Someone is going to die," he said with a wry smile. "So you might as well enjoy the champagne and caviar."
