Taibbi: Is LIBOR, Benchmark for Trillions of Dollars in Transactions, a Lie?

(11.8.2017) Years ago, we found out that the world‘s biggest banks were manipulating LIBOR. That sucked.

Now, the news is worse: LIBOR is made up.

Actually it‘s worse even than that. LIBOR is probably both manipulated and made up. The basis for a substantial portion of the world‘s borrowing is a bent fairy tale.
