Truth & Li(e)bor

Truth & Li(e)bor is the story of the author's personal journey and legal battles which consumed over six years of his life.
As the story unfolded, the author slowly began to understand that even though he was charged with "conspiracy to defraud", the real conspiracy might have been elsewhere. Was he one of the conveniently selected scapegoats thrown under the bus, allowing others to escape untouched? Had it been a well-executed plan involving individuals from all over the globe and in many different roles? Was it a coincidence that the LIBOR "scandal" emerged shortly after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008? Why has the practice of "lowballing" been seemingly buried within the media?
One of the author's main tasks is to put readers in his shoes and make them ask themselves a few simple questions: "How would I react to the events that are unfolding? Would I have carried out my professional duties like he did? Would I have done something different if I was in his shoes? How would I have coped with the adversity?"

Stelios Contogoulas is a Greek finance professional who turned to writing in 2018, following a career in IT consulting and subsequently in derivatives trading.
He was born in Greece but has lived a big part of his adult life abroad. He studied computing at Imperial College London, and then obtained an MBA at Manchester Business School. Having spent ten years working as an interest rate derivatives trader in London, Stelios was caught up in the LIBOR 'scandal' in 2014 and was acquitted three years later.
This is Stelios's first authoring effort, inspired and driven by his multi-year legal battle.
