John Gutfreund Has Died - Here Are The Most Iconic Scenes From Liar's Poker

AP ImagesJohn Gutfreund.John Gutfreund - the Wall Street legend made famous in Michael Lewis' 'Liar's Poker' - has died.

Gutfreund was the CEO of Salomon Brothers when Lewis began his career there. He spent a total of 38 years at the firm.
In Liar's Poker, Lewis recounts his four-year stint at Salomon Brothers, the now-defunct Wall Street investment bank where the mortgage bond was invented.
Lewis' detailed explanation of how Salomon reaped massive profits from the explosion in mortgage bonds is instructive.

We've compiled 10 moments from Liar's Poker that capture exactly why the book became an instant classic.
