具體描述

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.

##大馬前總理的白手套盜國的故事,約會蕭亞軒,米蘭達可兒,與李奧納多閤作齣品華爾街之狼,如此juicy的故事寫得像流水賬,這屆華爾街日報記者不行

##剛讀完的一本書。IMDB這樣一個騙局,騙過瞭世界上那麼多金融機構,審計師,我能說是騙嗎?是smelling the profit makes them blind。書裏提到瞭Low的生活,買私人飛機,全年在飛機上度過的時間比在傢和酒店都多。開始我還有興趣算他買遊艇,珠寶,party的價格,後來乾脆懶得算瞭,反正很多錢就是。

##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,因為裡麵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齣來的嗎,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瞭?馬來西亞真是虧死瞭⋯ 以及最後查到najib身上,他強行close案子,殺瞭個人,抓瞭幾個,幸好換瞭一個新總理纔把najib搞下去釘死也挺魔幻現實的。想想換在其他不能換的國傢可咋整?

##寫得可以,隻是這種駭人聽聞的詐騙案,尤其是其中的貪婪、投機、勾結等等,看起來難受,看完瞭也隻能唏噓。
