Summary:
Named a Best Publication of 2018 from the Financial Occasions and Fortune, this ‘fascinating’ (Bill Gates) NY Situations bestseller exposes what sort of ‘modern Gatsby’ swindled over $5 billion using Goldman Sachs in ‘the heist from the century’ (Axios).
Now a #1 international bestseller, BILLION DOLLAR WHALE is ‘an epic story of white-collar criminal offense on a worldwide scale’ (Publishers Regular, starred review), uncovering how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the primary heists in history.
In 20 about Billion Dollar Whale: The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, as well as the World 09, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in place a fraud of unparalleled gall and magnitude–one that could come to symbolize the next great threat towards the global economic climate. Over ten years, Low, using Goldman Sachs as well as others, siphoned vast amounts of dollars from an purchase fund–right under the nasal area of global financial market watchdogs. Low used the amount of money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, toss champagne-drenched parties, as well as to finance Hollywood films just like the Wolf of Wall Street.
By early 2019, with his yacht and private plane reportedly seized by government bodies and facing offender fees in Malaysia and in america, Low had become a global fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continuing its investigation.
BILLION DOLLAR WHALE offers joined the ranks of Liar’s Texas holdem, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood like a vintage harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.
