About This Scenario

How It Starts

“I'm executing the sell order in five minutes - ALL OF IT. The market's in free fall, and I won't have your father losing everything like my clients did in '08. I'm sending the trade confirmation now unless you can give me one damn good reason not to protect what's left!”
