Tom Wright was one of the first journalists to arrive at the scene of the raid in which Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden. In 2013, he spearheaded coverage of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh, which killed over 1,000 people, earning the Wall Street Journal a Sigma Delta Chi award from The Society of Professional Journalists. He is a Pulitzer finalist, a Loeb winner, and has garnered numerous awards from the Society of Publishers in Asia, which in 2016 named him "Journalist of the Year." He speaks English, Malay, French and Italian.
Bradley Hope has worked for the Wall Street Journal for the last four years, covering finance and malfeasance from New York City and London. Before that, he spent six years as a correspondent in the Middle East, where he covered the Arab Spring uprisings from Cairo, Tripoli, Tunis, and Beirut. He was detained by authorities in Bahrain, reported from the front lines of the Libyan civil war, and has been teargassed in raucous Egyptian protests. Bradley is a Pulitzer finalist and a Loeb winner, and also author of Last Days of the Pharaoh, a chronicle of the final days and hours of the presidency of Hosni Mubarak.
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 like The 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 WHALE has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.
##一边练健身环一边草草听完。故事本身很精彩,简直匪夷所思,书写的太冗长,有声书读得也特别客观(干巴巴)。不如读篇精简版的报道就好了
评分 评分##I’m sad. He’s sad.
评分##Only the reality can tell such an unimaginable story. All the characters involved in the case, especially Jho Low, challenged the bottom line of humanity. Living in the so called civilized society, sometimes I really want to question about humans’ conscien...
评分##写得可以,只是这种骇人听闻的诈骗案,尤其是其中的贪婪、投机、勾结等等,看起来难受,看完了也只能唏嘘。
评分文/徐谌辉 在知乎上曾经有个问题很别致,说作为中产阶级如何进行阶级跃升?但是里面的回答虽然很多但却很令人失望,我想,这个难度应该是挺大的,不然怎么会没人没人知道或知而不言呢? 但事实上,我觉得这本书则是对这个提问的最好回答。 本书主要记录刘特佐,这个马来西亚普...
评分##投行贪婪律所邪恶,政客赚得口袋满满,对FCPA有了更深刻的认识。同时萧亚轩米兰达可儿和小李子这种人其实也算是某种程度上的共犯,你不能一边享受着脏钱带来的快乐一边装无辜呀。前天看到Low和DOJ settle了civil lawsuit,不知道未来的criminal会是什么走向... (写作层面而言我觉得作者用了太多没必要的插入语,倒装句,读起来比较吃力,叙述节奏在最后半段也有点拖拉,讲金融那块很多东西也没讲清楚,不过总体可读性还好吧
评分 评分##最後還是看得電子書。挺好看的,但是感覺可以縮減成一篇長篇報導⋯沒必要這麼長的篇幅,因為裡面很多東西都是非常客觀的,沒太多必要花這麼多筆墨來描寫,而且jho low的富裕是光靠描寫中的能描寫出來的嗎,應該拍成美劇或者電影⋯ 看到最後在徵收財產的時候我在想,這些錢都是馬來西亞的錢的話那美國豈不是賺到了?馬來西亞真是虧死了⋯ 以及最後查到najib身上,他強行close案子,殺了個人,抓了幾個,幸好換了一個新總理才把najib搞下去釘死也挺魔幻現實的。想想換在其他不能換的國家可咋整?
