While brokers wept and traders screamed, Viktor Volkov sat calmly in his chair, watching his screens bleed green. His short positions exploded upward. By 4:00 PM, Volkov Capital had made $1.2 billion.

Viktor had arrived from Minsk ten years earlier, a mathematics prodigy with $200 in his pocket and a hunger that skyscrapers couldn't contain. He started as a runner on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, then became a trader, then a snake, then a god. By '86, his hedge fund, Volkov Capital , was clearing half a billion a year.
