Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In 1994, the firm of Kidder Peabody shocked Wall Street by accusing Joseph Jett, one of the company’s most successful traders, with masterminding hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent transactions. Mr. Jett joins Kojo to discuss the legal decision which dismisses those accusations of fraud, as well as the greed, racism, and power struggles he says dominate many Wall Street firms.
