There is a new book on the financial crisis called "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis, author of "The Blind Side" and "Liar's Poker". One of the main topics covered is a hedge fund manager, Dr. Michael Burry MD, who Lewis believes was the first to catch on to what was wrong with the financial system. Dr. Micheal Bury has AS and it probably made his 'success' (I can't feel too good about predicting anyone's downfall) possible.

There is also an interview with Burry: Extra Interview

And if you have the time, an excerpt from Michael Lewis's book, focusing on Bury, was published in Vanity Fair: Betting on The Blind Side
