Wolf Hustle by Cin Fabre

From the South Bronx projects to the boardroom - at only nineteen
years old, Cin Fabre ran with the wolves of Wall Street.
Growing up, Cin Fabre didn't know anything about the stock market. But she
learned how to hustle from her immigrant parents, saving money so that one
day she could escape her abusive father and poverty in the Bronx.
Through a tip from a friend, Cin pushed her way into brokerage firm VTR
Capital - an offshoot of Stratton Oakmont, the company where the Wolf of Wall
Street, Jordan Belfort, had reigned. She was shocked to find an army of
young workers, mostly Black and Brown, with no real prospects for promotion
sitting at phones doing the drudge work of finding investment leads for white
male brokers. But she felt the pull of profit and knew she would do whatever
she had to do to be successful.
Pulling back the curtain on the inequities she and so many others faced, Wolf
Hustle reveals how Cin worked grueling hours, ascending from cold caller to
stockbroker, becoming the only Black woman to do so at her firm. She also
discloses the excesses she took part in on 1990s Wall Street - the strip clubs,
the Hamptons parties, the Gucci shopping sprees - while reveling in the thrill
of making money.
From landing clients worth hundreds of millions to gaining, losing, then gaining
back fortunes in seconds, Cin examines her years spent trading frantically and

Europe and enjoys spending time with her wife and four children. Wolf Hustle
