Overview

Cómo un joven empresario logró estafar más de 5 mil millones de  dólares justo debajo de las narices de la industria financiera mundial.

Una investigación sin precedentes escrita por los galardonados  periodistas de The Wall Street Journal, Tom Wright y Bradley Hope, sobre el fraude financiero más grande del siglo XXI.

El polvo aún tenía que asentarse en la crisis financiera mundial en 2009  cuando  un improbable graduado de Wharton puso en marcha un fraude de agallas y magnitud sin precedentes, uno que simbolizaría la  próxima gran amenaza para el sistema financiero global.

Los aspectos prácticos del plan eran sorprendentemente simples: Jho Low persuadió al primer ministro de Malasia para que creara un fondo  de inversión que dirigiría desde las sombras; recaudó más de 10 mil millones de dólares de inversores globales con la ayuda de Goldman Sachs y otras instituciones, y durante la siguiente media década  desviaron no menos de 5 mil millones de dólares. Dicho dinero fue utilizado para financiar elecciones, comprar propiedades de lujo  en Londres, Nueva York y Los Ángeles; producir películas de Hollywood, incluida El lobo de Wall Street, y hacer fiestas llenas de  champaña por todo el mundo. Su generosidad también le produjo amistades  con actores de Hollywood, como Leonardo DiCaprio, modelos de Victoria's  Secret, como Miranda Kerr, e incluso con un miembro del círculo íntimo del presidente Obama.

Lo más asombroso fue que nadie pareció notarlo, ni los bancos globales, como Goldman y J. P. Morgan, que se hicieron de la vista gorda  frente a las oscuras transferencias de cientos de millones de dólares;  ni tampoco los auditores internacionales, banqueros centrales ni vigilantes del sistema financiero oficial.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this New York Times bestseller about the 1MDB scandal 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 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.
