Gary Stevenson, the author of “The Trading Game,” spent his early 20s trading trillions of dollars for Citibank in London and Tokyo.

He says that he won the job playing a card game and that he eventually became Citibank’s most profitable trader. While some of his colleagues lived a life fueled by partying and cocaine, Gary earned millions betting against the global economy. He talks to Business Insider about office culture in Canary Wharf, London; the bosses; and the bonuses. He covers the mindset of profitable bankers, their daily routine, and what leaving the job is like.

Now, Gary is a published author and teaches economics through his YouTube channel, Garyseconomics.

BI was unable to substantiate Gary's claims of being Citibank's most profitable trader.
