Use of cocaine in the financial industry (UK/US)

[Pulitzer]

Hello fellow Bluelighters,

I am a journalist investigating on the part of cocaine in the outbreak of 2008's financial crisis (amongst other factors, obviously). On that precise topic and more broadly, I am looking for testimonies from people working in that industry, and who use cocaine to work.

For that story (for a French print magazine) I am travelling to London on next Friday and to NYC end of June/beginning of July, two places where we can meet if necessary.

Full privacy/anonymity will be guaranteed.

Thanks by advance for your answers

It's not that I think it is, I am just trying to document that. Some specialists think that is the case, see that:

wow, not seen that before, seems like Nutt thinks it was THE cause of the meltdown Unless he's been a bit misquoted.

Thanks! I think it's better to chose a self-confidence username than doing cocaine
