Description
Credit Suisse, once a venerable Swiss bank, was a bastion of high-class service that concealed a darker reality. Behind its sterile Zurich headquarters, the bank banked dictators and drug dealers, hid stolen Nazi gold, and helped fraudsters fleece its clients out of billions of dollars. The bank's top executives oversaw a global operation that laundered money for autocrats, hired spies to track one another, and helped clients hide their money from the world's tax authorities. This is the story of the tawdry total meltdown of one of the biggest and most influential banks on the planet. Duncan Mavin, a Washington Post reporter, uniquely sources the story, drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of inside-the-room contacts who exposed extensive details about the bank's demise.
