In 2012, news broke that a group of young, chummy bankers had, for years, been colluding to manipulate the London Interbank Offered Ratethe interest rate that determines how money is borrowed and lent throughout the world. They set the Libor higher or lower to suit each others’ needs, while ordinary savers and investors suffered without even knowing it.
