Bucket Shop

  

You could just watch Leo's Wolf of Wall Street.

"Bucket shop" is a pejorative term for a brokerage firm that employs questionable or unethical tactics.

Lloyd always wanted to work for a prestigious Wall Street firm like Morgan Stanley or Credit Suisse. Unfortunately, he didn’t get into a good school, his grades were poor, and he didn’t have any connections in the Capital Markets industry.

As a result, the best job he could find was with Silverman Suchs, a tiny bucket shop operating out of Islip, Long Island...a far cry from the trading floors of Lower Manhattan.
