Description

The Key Man: How the Global Elite Was Duped by a Capitalist Fairy Tale Arif Naqvi was a man with ambitious dreams to end world suffering, poverty, and disease through capitalism. He convinced the global elite that he could invest in emerging markets, generating both profit and positive impact. Naqvi's vision was pursued by Western governments, who saw him as a key player in stabilizing the Middle East after 9/11 and in reviving the ancient Silk Road trading routes. Naqvi's success was marked by high-profile partnerships, including a $1 billion healthcare fund with Bill Gates and significant investments by Western governments. He also sat on boards at the UN and Interpol, and was even considered a future leader in his homeland, Pakistan. However, in 2019, Naqvi was arrested on charges of fraud and racketeering, facing up to 291 years in jail. This book tells the true story of the investigation into Naqvi's alleged fraud, as revealed by Wall Street Journal reporters Simon Clark and Will Louch. Their investigation sheds light on the smoke and mirrors world of Naqvi's business dealings, and the consequences of his actions.
