<<Nearly an entire family destroy by the very substance that helped make their illegal fortune.>>> you are right: check out this book Toward Rational Exuberance: The Evolution of the Modern Stock Market by B. Mark Smith It is written by one leading managing director of the investment bank. He has two full chapters dealing with joe kennedy in the early day of the unregulated market when the back office and the front office were mixed and one can access the file and account info of the clients. Joe kennedy went short on the stocks of those financial vulnerable clients and forced those people to sell to get out of the stocks. At that point he covered his short !!! Very well documented on how this kennedy made blood money on the market !!!
