      A great in-depth read about this era is Den of Thieves by James B. Stewart. http://www.amazon.com/Den-Thieves-James-B-Stewart/dp/0671792...

      "Den of Thieves" by James B. Stewart covers the Milken, DBL and Boesky years. It's a decent read--I just finished it about a month ago.

      Regarding Giuliani and his handling of the case, you make a good point. The politicization of law enforcement is something we should all be concerned about.

      You're quite right that the charges were dropped against Lowell in return for a guilty plea from his brother. However, if Stewart's account in Den of Thieves is to be believed, then Lowell was intimately involved in the affair.
