Named a Best Book of 2018 by theFinancial TimesandFortune, this \"thrilling\" (Bill Gates)New York Timesbestseller exposes how a \"modern Gatsby\" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in \"the heist of the century\" (Axios).Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whaleis \"an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale\" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude-one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund-right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films likeThe Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U. S. Department of Justice continued its investigation. Billion Dollar Whalehas joined the ranks ofLiar's Poker, Den of Thieves, andBad Bloodas a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world. | Billion Dollar Whale by Bradley Hope, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
