About this product
Product Information
Now a #1 international bestseller, BILLION DOLLAR WHALE is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" ( Publishers Weekly , starred review), 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 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.

Reviews
"Wright and Hopedeliver a scintillating and prodigiously reported tale of a globe-spanningmodern Gatsby and his audacious fraud."-- Jesse Eisinger,Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for ProPublica and author of TheChickenshit Club, "A must-read for fugitive financiers...a belter of a financial scandal takedown...great fun....A breathless collation of excellent investigative reporting, it shows real life really can be stranger than fiction."-- Bloomberg.com, "Wright and Hopedeliver a scintillating and prodigiously reported tale of a globe-spanningmodern Gatsby and his audacious fraud."-- Jesse Eisinger, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for ProPublica and author of The Chickenshit Club, "What a blast to read! A true life thriller that reads like a Hollywood movie, Billion Dollar Whale traces the exploits of the most mercurial, mysterious big player in history. Jho Low is Gatsby with twice the bank account and ten times the ambition, and the stories surrounding his exploits leap right off the page!"-- Ben Mezrich, NewYork Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and BringingDown The House, "1MDB book is a whale of a tale.... Readers who have followed the 1MDB scandal will be expecting heavy doses of both opulence and corruption. What Billion Dollar Whale does best is show just how dizzyingly far-reaching the scheme was.... shocking - and an essential read."-- Financial News of London, "An extraordinary tale.... richly woven...[with] dogged reporting.... Like all good business stories, Billion Dollar Whale is bigger than the immediate one it tells. It is a story of emerging markets crippled by corruption and cronyism and comes from the era of egregious--and mostly punishment-free--banking.... One thing is clear. If ever Hollywood gets round to telling the story on screen, here is perfect material for the script."-- Financial Times, "Wright and Hope transform theirinvestigation of a mind-boggling financial fraud into a nonfiction thriller...This is an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Well-researched and well-documented.... Revealshow Low used a bag of tricks, including financial fraud, to make himself seemmore powerful, more influential, and more successful than he actually was... Thisis a must-read."-- Booklist, "This story of a Wharton graduate who carried out the$5 billion swindle known as 1MDB offers a textbook case of financial fraud inthe modern age."-- New York Times, "Thestory of a massive international financial scandal... As the authors amplyprove, the scandal reaches far beyond Low. To succeed, he relied on the naivete, greed, and generally immoral conduct of huge banks as well as corruptgovernments."-- Kirkus, "Even the most skilled fiction writer would have trouble conjuring the corrupt and colorful protagonist of Billion Dollar Whale . Bradley Hope and Tom Wright's gripping portrait of Jho Low and his enablers throughout the global financial system will both fascinate and enrage you."-- Sheelah Kolhatkar,staff writer at The New Yorker and New YorkTimes bestselling author of Black Edge, "I highly recommend this rip-roaring story of brazen fraud..., political corruption..., and investment-banker callousness."-- Adam Lashinsky, FORTUNE, "If you like global intrigue, financial crime, wealth porn, and absurdity, Billion Dollar Whale , by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, is for you.... It almost seems made up. Still, anyone who has followed the news out of Malaysia will know that the story is all too real."-- The New Yorker, "[The] extraordinaire saga of Malaysian entrepreneur Jho Low [is] chronicled in juicy detail.... A mind-boggling picture of Low's thievery, grandiose spending and disappearance."-- Financial Advisor, "Take one chubby Malaysian business school graduate. Mix with Middle Eastern sheikhs and greedy Southeast Asian politicians. Add Wall Street investment banks, law firms and Swiss wealth managers. Then mix in superyachts, five-star hotels, luxury apartments, nightclubs, models, A-list movie stars--and bathtubs of champagne... [This] richly reported page-turner is meticulously pieced together from interviews, documents and emails by Wall Street Journal reporters Tom Wright and Bradley Hope."-- PeterThal Larsen, Reuters, "An incredible story.... If you need some billionaires to despise--look no further than these charlatans."-- Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, "Just finished reading Billion Dollar Whale and was blown away. I thought I had seen it all with Russian kleptocracy, but the story of the money stolen in Malaysia in 1MDB and all the enthusiastic Western enablers was unbelievable." -- Bill Browder, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Notice, "A wonderful book... A rip-roaring, absolutely delightful account of one of the biggest financial cons in the history of the world.... If you liked Bad Blood , you might well enjoy Billion Dollar Whale ... An incredible story of a con artist at the height of his game."-- David Plotz, Slate "Political Gabfest"

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
