Description

Billion Dollar Whale: The Man who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World In 2015, a massive financial heist shook the global financial industry. At the centre of the scandal was a young man from an upper-middle-class Malaysian family, who had built a reputation as a member of the elite by hosting lavish parties for Wall Street bankers and celebrities. With the help of Goldman Sachs and others, he stole billions of dollars, using the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, and bankroll Hollywood films. This book tells the story of how this 'modern Gatsby' emerged from obscurity to pull off one of the most audacious financial heists the world has ever seen, and how the financial industry let him. It is a harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world, revealing the shocking truth behind the scandal and the individuals responsible. 416 pages, paperback
