I&#x27;ve had a couple people who work in high frequency trading say that Flash Boys is extremely inaccurate, but they still recommend The Big Short. I&#x27;ve not really heard anything significantly negative about TBS though I&#x27;m sure there are probably disputed opinions about it out there. And while the character narratives in TBS could be entirely fabricated (I mean, I&#x27;m sure they aren&#x27;t totally false), the underlying issues and events line up with my previous understanding of the crisis.
