About this episode

The episode explores the trading prowess and controversies surrounding Steven A. Cohen, a highly successful trader.

The edge in the title refers to an advantage that Cohen had over the rest of the market-because he is considered without doubt one of the best intuitive traders ever- good enough that he took home $3.5 billion last year, rich enough to lose more than $1.5 billion in the whole Gamestop short squeeze and shrug it off but is his wealth and success all down to skill or does he cross the line, as prosecutors have tried to prove numerous times? It’s a cracking story enjoy
