I have massively enjoyed, recently, all of Bad BloodEmpire of Pain and Smartest Guys in the Room.

Any recommendations for similar?

ooh, sounds good

I have read BATG but not for years, will read that again some time 

anything good about Maxwell? I did read N Person’s book years ago 

You should have pivoted to corporate crime. You seem to like criminal stuff. Naughty people doing naughty things. You're slightly perverted. Why not, why stick to what you were doing? Re-tool. Dude.

You might also enjoy Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of crowds (altho i understand a lot of that is actually apocryphal bollox, still a good read)

+1 for each of Shredded and Flash Boys.

Not sure i would describe Barbarians at the Gate as being about corporate scandal, but a great book nonetheless.

Thought they were smart.  Ivy league.  MBAs from Wharton.  Get them to change the valves on a norton manx?  No chance.  Ask them to strike up a blues riff on a Les Paul?  You are joking.

Liar's Poker is the obvious (but still true) answer

Not a scandal as such - more a clash of cultures thing - there's a good book about the Essex born chap who became CEO of Olympus (or possibly Sony?) that's worth a read.  Woodford I think he names as/is
