The Mysterious Life and Death Intrade's CEO

摘要

Charming and indefatigable to the end, Irish businessman John Delaney tried to build a thriving global betting market out or the abstract "wisdom of crowds." Two years after he perished on Mount Everest, many who knew him well are wondering if they truly did. WHERE DOES A MAN go to test himself, perhaps to cleanse himself? No ordinary soul, this man. He lives to demolish his limitations, to push himself to extremes. Run a marathon? Why not try two in the same day? To those around him, he's kind, courtly, honorable - a gentleman. He is also pigheadedly stubborn. An autocrat in the office. Intensely private. And maybe, by this point, a bit worn down by the struggle. Frustrated by his ailing body. Wondering if he'll ever figure out the right formula for his business. In need of a big win. Where else could John Delaney go but to the highest point on earth?
