It is also shameful to use vile means for the sake of justice

After reading Billions, I think I can talk about two issues. One is whether there is any morality to speak of on Wall Street, where the world's smartest people make their money, and what can restrain them? The second question is how the bottom class can achieve breakthroughs in the face of the fixed words of the class.

Axe completed his original accumulation through the short-selling transaction when the 911 World Trade Center collapsed. At the same time, due to the unfortunate death of his colleagues and partners, he also had the opportunity to establish his own fund company, Axecapiatal. The most profitable companies often use the most extreme method, that is, insider trading, through purchases and godfather-like methods to obtain all kinds of inside information and then disclose it to their own fund managers, so that their own companies can obtain returns far higher than other funds. As a New York prosecutor, Chuck doesn't like these people who break the rules. The way he punishes them is also unruly, but the evidence that he obtained information from his wife who works by Axe's side is invalid. In the end, Wendy, who is sandwiched between the two sides, chooses To leave, leaving two tired men to continue their struggle for dignity and their own representation.

Let's talk about a dark line of the show, although Axe is the villain in the show but not annoying. Because his actions when everyone was killed on 9/11 was like what he told his wife and firefighters, it was an instinct, and I also believe that his actions were not set for himself in the scene and his people. This is a very American dream growing up story, and although there are moral flaws, his efforts cannot be denied. Compared with Chuck who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, he started private study at $80,000 a year. His father was a billionaire and he was well-connected in politics and business. A $10,000 prosecutor job is just to build up capital for future political ambitions. The different growth of the two people also leads to different work styles. Axe hopes to be everyone's hero, even God. He enjoys the thrill of turning the tide. The company culture is parental awareness. Although he is strict with his subordinates, he is indeed an old hen and a chicken. Chuck has a fiery personality and will do anything to get his way, but he's doing justice.
