    Spinning Boris on Showtime

    That was the movie. Dick Dresner and George Gorton get hired by a man who is pretty obviously a mobster. He offers them drugs and prostitutes as a form of hospitality but they decline.

    They get a tip to buy Yukos Oil but the stock will only be valuable if they can get Yeltsin reelected.

    They lose faith a critical point and sell the stock, and end up regretting it.

    According to the film.

    —Patricia Schwarz
